Bill Cosby Sues One Of His Alleged Assault Victims
Bill Cosby has gone on the offensive, calling for sanctions to be applied against Andrea Constand, one of his alleged victims.
Recently, unsealed court documents showed that Cosby purposefully acquired drugs to use on women with the intention of sleeping with them. Those documents came from the 2005 depositions of the s*xual assault case Ms Constand filed against him.
After the case was settled, the victim signed a confidentiality agreement regarding testimony in the case. After more testimony was leaked to the press, much more detailed than the one the judge released, Cosby’s camp believes Andrea leaked those documents.
According to the BBC:
“On 8 July Ms Constand applied to have the entire deposition unsealed and to break free from any confidentiality restrictions.
The New York Times later acquired its own record of the 1,000-page deposition and posted details on its website.
But his lawyers argue Mr Cosby’s admission to using Quaaludes in the 1970s does not mean he drugged and sexually assaulted women.
They called Ms Constand’s request to release the full details of the settlement as an “obvious attempt to smear” the performer.
She should be also be sanctioned for leaking the deposition to the New York Times through her “own hired court reporter”, they added.
“This massive breach of protocol and of the parties’ settlement agreement dwarfs the petty complaints (Ms Constand) makes in her motion,” the filing states.”
At this point, it seems pointless to keep fighting this; but it looks like Cosby is not going down without a fight.-
