"As far as bringing a case that's 31 years old, it's a tough case to make. It's not impossible. On the other hand, defending these suits is so expensive and there's always the risk that you lose a huge judgment, so there's an incentive to settle," Matthew Galluzzo, a New York lawyer who represents defendants in civil suits over sexual assault, said.

Any hopes Bill Cosby had for a quiet retirement after last summer’s reversal of his sexual assault conviction were dashed by a New Jersey suit just filed by a former “Cosby Show” actress claiming he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1990.
Lili Bernard says in her suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Camden, New Jersey, on Oct. 14, that Cosby assaulted her at a casino hotel in Atlantic City, after luring her there to meet with a producer who would help her acting career.
