Bill Cosby new sexual assault lawsuit

Five more women, including two former actors from "The Cosby Show," have accused actor and comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault. The new suit, filed by attorneys Jordan Merson and Jordan Rutsky in New York's Supreme Court reads, in part, "Over the course of several decades, Bill Cosby engaged in the serial sexual assault of dozens of women for his sexual gratification while the co-defendants enabled and aided these sexual assaults to benefit financially by their association with Bill Cosby."

NBCUniversal, the parent company of the network that ran this iconic '80s sitcom, is mentioned in the suit, along with the production companies. Deadline reports, "Naming the Comcast-owned media giant, plus Kaufman Astoria Studios and The Carsey-Werner Company as co-defendants for 'negligence,' the suit seeks a variety of unspecified damages."
