The documents were filed on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for Nevada. The women allege that Cosby used his power and fame and claimed interest in helping them and their careers as a pretense to isolate and sexually assault them. The Guardian reported that the nine women who came forward in the newly filed litigation are identified as Janice Dickinson, Lise Lotte-Lublin, Janice Baker Kinney, Lili Bernard, Heidi Thomas, Linda Kirkpatrick, Rebecca Cooper, Pam Joy Abeyta, and Angela Leslie.
All nine women allege that Cosby drugged and assaulted them, with the alleged occurrences dating back to 1979-1992. The women each came forward with their allegations. They reported being assaulted by Cosby in various locations, such as homes, dressing rooms, and hotels in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, and Reno.
