Woman Sues Bill Cosby, Saying He Sexually Assaulted Her in 2008 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
And one of the more than 50 women who say they were sexually assaulted
by comedian Bill Cosby has filed a lawsuit against him in California.
Chloe Goins says Cosby drugged and attacked her at the Playboy Mansion
in 2008. Cosby is accused of drugging and raping women over a period of
decades. In many cases, the statute of limitations has expired. Goins
addressed Cosby's other victims.

Chloe Goins: "I recognize that I have taken legal action that many of
the other victims of Bill Cosby will never be able to take. For that
reason, I offer this message to those brave women: Your experience was
just like mine, and mine just like yours. We are not alone. We did not
ask for these attacks, and these attacks are not our fault. This has
gone on long enough. It's time Bill Cosby was held accountable for his
crimes."

In addition to the lawsuit, Cosby could potentially face criminal
charges in Chloe Goins' case.
