Up Next: ” Bill Cosby Sex Scandal: Timeline of Accusations .” We’ll be redirecting you shortly… Tamara Green, a California lawyer who alleges that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in the 1970s, originally brought the lawsuit in December. Therese Serignese says Cosby drugged and raped her in 1976, and Linda Traitz alleges he tried to drug her and then sexually groped her in 1970. The latter two women joined the suit after it was filed, and together, the women all argue that Cosby has branded them as liars through his representatives. They are seeking an unspecified amount of money for compensatory and punitive damages, and perhaps just as importantly, to make their case publicly. Their lawyers have also claimed that the civil action allows the women to have their allegations heard since criminal statutes of limitation have expired. Cosby has denied wrongdoing and hasn’t been charged with a crime. He has, however, axed or postponed more than 12 shows on his comedy tour amid allegations by numerous women that he sexually abused them. His team’s statement that it will ask for the lawsuit’s dismissal came in a status update filed jointly by Cosby’s lawyers and lawyers for the three women. The sides have been in talks this month to resolve a number of issues related to the lawsuit, according to the filing, even though they have yet to settle it. Cosby’s motion to dismiss will deal with “any issues that by that time have not been resolved through conference” between the sides, says the brief. Lawyers for the accusers would have until March 20 to file a reply to the motion to dismiss. Cosby’s lawyers would then have until April 8 to respond to that. More than two dozen women have made similar claims against Cosby, although these three and Chloe Goins are among the few to pursue legal options. Some of the famous names to come out against Cosby’s supposed drugging and molesting of women include Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickinson . Bill Cosby Memes Gone Horribly Awry 1.
