As more women come forward with stories of
being sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby , the
comedy legend continues to simultaneously keep
silent and play the victim card.
Cosby has denied the allegations through his
attorney, while repeatedly refusing to discuss
them publicly.
Today, Cosby is once again hiding behind his
lawyers, but this time he's also going on the
offensive, claiming he's being criminally extorted
by Judy Huth - a woman who recently came
forward and stated that Cosby raped her when
she was only 15 years old.
Cosby's attorney, Marty Singer, claims that he
was approached by Huth's lawyers last month
and they essentially attempted to blackmail
Cosby
Singer says Huth's legal team made "ominous
references to criminal penalties" and demanded a
payment of $100,000 from Cosby.
He alleges
that they later upped that sum to $250,000.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Singer
offers evidence that he believes proves Huth's
story is a fabrication.
First, he claims that Huth attempted to sell her
story to several tabloids ten years ago, but was
unable to find a buyer. Singer cites this as
evidence that Huth is lying when she claims that
that she'd "repressed" the memory of Cosby's
alleged attack.
Singer also points to Huth's claim that she and
Cosby played a "drinking game" before she
allegedly passed out and woke to find she'd
been molested.
The attorney states that Cosby is a "lifelong non-
drinker" and would never have participated in
such a game.
Cosby is reportedly demanding that Huth's case
be thrown out and is requesting monetary
compensation, as well.
