Nine women have filed a lawsuit in Nevada accusing comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault, the latest in a long string of misconduct allegations against the once-beloved entertainer.

The alleged assaults took place between 1979 and 1992 at various locations in Nevada, including Bill Cosby’s backstage dressing room and his Las Vegas hotel suite, according to the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in federal court in Nevada.

The complaint comes just weeks after several other states enacted a “lookback” law that eliminated a two-year window for sexual assault victims to bring civil claims.

More than 60 women have made allegations over the decades against Cosby, who was once known as “America’s father” for his role on the 1980s television comedy “The Cosby Show.”

Now 85, Bill Cosby was the first celebrity to be convicted in the #MeToo era, when a Pennsylvania jury found him guilty in 2018 of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, an employee of his alma mater Temple University in Philadelphia, in 2004.

He spent three years in a Pennsylvania prison before the state Supreme Court dismissed his case in 2021, ruling that he should not have faced charges following a non-prosecution agreement years ago with a previous district attorney.

In a statement, Bill Cosby’s spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, criticized the “lookback” laws and said that his accusers “are not fighting for victims — but for their addiction to massive amounts of media attention and greed.”

Bill Cosby in the Nevada trial is accused of giving each victim a drink or pills before assaulting her, a pattern that matches allegations against other women, including Constand.

Bill Cosby also faces other legal claims. A former model sued him this month, alleging he assaulted her in 1969. Plaintiffs are taking advantage of a California law that removed the statute of limitations on such claims.

Lily Bernard, one of the plaintiffs in Nevada, has separately sued Bill Cosby in New Jersey for alleged assault in 1990 under a similar law.

Last year, a California jury found that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted teenager Judy Huth in 1975 and ordered him to pay $500,000.
