Famous TV comedian Bill; Cosby who has been slammed with several assault and rape charges has recently won the defamation lawsuit against alleged victim, Renita Hill.
Renita Hill is said to be one out of eight accusers that filed defamation cases against Cosby. All eight accusers filed their cases in October stating that their reputes had been dented after Cosby called them liars and extortionists. In a report by CNN, Judge Arthur Schwab dismissed the case, elucidating that the statements “do not support a claim for defamation as defined by Pennsylvania law.” The Judge also indicated that the claims were “pure opinion” and a “far cry from labeling [Hill] (and the other women who have made similar public assertions) as liars or extortionists.”
In December, Cosby and his lawyer, Monique Pressley, countersued his sexual assault accusers. Cosby has since been accused by 60 individuals of sexual misconduct, and was charged with the 2004 sexual assault case. The TV comedian is currently on a million dollar bail. Reports state that if Cosby loses this case, he can end up facing up to ten years in prison. However his lawyers are determined not to let that happen. Cosby is due back in court again on February 2nd.
