Bill Cosby Now Haunted by Same Law Used to Sue Clergy and Scout Leaders

“The issue of the appropriate Statute of Limitations has again been revisited by the Courts in New Jersey. Having heard arguments on a valid claim against Bill Cosby, the Court has again expanded the interpretation and definition of the statute to allow additional claims, despite no criminal prosecution. Good news for those affected. At Edelstein Law we are here to protect your rights and get you JUSTICE.”

- Jay L. Edelstein

A federal judge in Camden, New Jersey, rejected Bill Cosby’s motion to dismiss a suit stemming from the comedian’s alleged sexual assault of an aspiring actress.

Cosby claimed that the suit should be dismissed because the alleged victim, Lili Bernard, is not covered by a New Jersey law extending the statute of limitations for injuries related to sexual assault.
