A woman who said Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her when she was a young comedy writer more than 50 years ago filed a lawsuit against the actor Thursday under a soon-to-expire New York law that gave victims of sexual abuse a one-year window for claims that would otherwise be barred by time limits.
Joan Tarshis initially came forward with allegations against Cosby in 2014 that are repeated in the new lawsuit. Tarshis said Cosby drugged her and forced her to perform oral sex on him in 1969 or 1970, and then drugged and raped her during another encounter a year or two later.
The New York resident was living in California at the time of the first assault and had met Cosby through a mutual friend while he was starring in “The Bill Cosby Show,” according to the lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court in New York City.
It’s ridiculous that this piece of shit who basically took away a piece of so many of our childhoods is not rotting in prison for the rest of his life.
I thought he was already dead. He got released a while ago on the sincs you’re basically dead, we’ll call it compassionate release program.
He got released because of some technicality in the trial that convicted him.
He got released due to some shoddy legal work by the prosecution when they made an agreement with him in a civil case where he waived his 5th Amendment rights against self incrimination. He gave tons of self incriminating depositions in that case with the explicit understanding that he wouldn’t be prosecuted criminally.
Then they used those depositions to prosecute him criminally….

He was promised immunity in exchange for a deposition in a civil suit against him. He was guilty, but he had immunity in that case at least.
