Bill Cosby drops defamation case against sexual assault accusers
Spokesman said Cosby dropped the case against seven women ‘to focus on other matters’
Disgraced actor and comedian Bill Cosby has dropped his countersuit legal action against seven women who accused him of sexually assaulting them, it was announced on Friday.
Court papers filed on Friday afternoon show the four-year defamation case in Massachusetts is now over. Cosby’s insurer, AIG, had settled with the women last month for an undisclosed sum.
