The bill Cosby sexual assault cases have garnered media attention and sparked controversy for the American stand-up comedian. In 2018, he was convicted of aggravated indecent assault.
However, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania vacated that conviction on June 30, 2021. It’s unclear what will happen next.
Rebecca Lynn Neal
Bill Cosby is facing several sexual assault cases, including the cases involving two former waitresses. Rebecca Lynn Neal alleges that Cosby drugged and assaulted her when she was 28 years old in 1972. Another woman claims that Cosby drugged her and then forced her to have oral sex with him before an audition. She later claims that Cosby blessed her after the encounter.
Linda Joy Traitz
The allegations against Bill Cosby continue to make headlines as more women accuse the comedian of sexually assaulting them. The alleged victim, Linda Joy Traitz, worked as a waitress at a restaurant that Cosby owned. She alleges that he assaulted her at age 19 by groping her chest, pushing her down and trying to lie on her body. The actor’s attorney, Marty Singer, has responded to the accusations by stating that the accusations are unfounded, stating that Traitz has a troubled past.
Carla Ferrigno
In both Carla Ferrigno and Bill Cosba cases, the accusers allege that the comedian made unwanted advances toward them. The alleged victims say that Cosby drugged them and forced them to engage in oral sex, and some say that Cosby even drugged them before performing sexual acts. These claims are all based on alleged incidents that occurred between 1989 and 1991.
Donna Motsinger
Besides Andrea Constand, Bill Cosby is the subject of other sexual assault lawsuits. The most recent one involves twenty-year-old actress Lachele Covington.
