<p>A former Playboy model is suing <strong>Bill Cosby</strong>, 85, for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting her in 1969. <strong>Victoria Valentino</strong>, 80, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/lawsuit-dead-arbys-worker-broken-walk-in-freezer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed the lawsuit</a> against the actor and comedian in California on Thursday (June 1), per <em>Associated Press. </em></p>
<p>Court docs <a href="https://apnews.com/article/bill-cosby-victoria-valentino-sexual-assault-e2e2e86aa10e8d24d7c5c018ae71d9fa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly claim</a> that Victoria was one of two victims in the incident&#8211;though the second woman&#8217;s identity remains unknown.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Former Model Says Cosby Gave Her Drugs At Restaurant Before Assaulting Her In His Home</h3>
<p>In the suit, the 80-year-old described meeting Cosby at a Los Angeles café about 54 years ago. At the time, Valentino was reportedly mourning the drowning death of her 6-year-old son.</p>
<p>Bill Cosby, she says, approached her while she was crying and eventually offered to pay for a spa treatment for Valentino and a friend. He later allegedly provided a chauffeured car that brought the women to dinner at a steakhouse.</p>
<p>While dining, Valentino&#8217;s lawsuit says, Cosby offered both women an unidentified pill, saying, &#8220;Here take this&#8230;it will make you feel better, it will make us all feel better.&#8221;</p>
<p>AP&#8217;s report didn&#8217;t specify, but it seems that both women took the offered pills. After dinner, Cosby allegedly drove both women to his home. After entering the house, Valentino claims she passed out on a couch. When she woke up sometime later, Cosby was allegedly sexually assaulting her friend.</p>
<p>He then moved on to Valentino, also assaulting her while she could not fight back, allegedly due to the drug&#8217;s effect. Valentino says Cosby &#8220;engaged in forced sexual intercourse.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear what happened following the alleged assaults or if either woman came in contact with Bill after the incident.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Victoria Valentino Wants Actor On Trial &; Cutting A Check For Assault </strong></h3>
<p>Her lawsuit reportedly requests that Cosby undergo a jury trial for the attacks. Additionally, Victoria wants &#8220;unspecified punitive damages,&#8221; per <em>AP</em>.</p>
<p>Valentino is one of over 50 women who have accused Bill of a sex crime, including rape, sexual assault, and harassment, since the start of the #MeToo movement.</p>
<p>He was arrested in 2015 and underwent two trials&#8211;the first ending with a hung jury and the second leading to a guilty verdict on three counts of felony indecent assault in 2019. He was sentenced to three to ten years in state prison.</p>
<p>Evidence used in both trials included a 2005 deposition, where Cosby admitted giving women drugs known as quaaludes. However, his lawyers later argued that he <a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/bill-cosby-overturned-sexual-assault-conviction-explained.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave that deposition</a> in a civil case under the promise he wouldn&#8217;t be criminally persecuted, per <em>Vulture. </em></p>
<p>Then, in May 2021, the Pennslyvania Supreme Court <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/the-supreme-court-announces-that-they-will-not-review-bill-cosbys-overturned-conviction-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overturned the felony</a> conviction due to that &#8220;non-prosecution agreement.&#8221; Today, Cosby remains a free man.</p>

The jury awarded Judy $500,000 in damages with no punitive damages. Judy was reportedly the first of Cosby&#8217;s accusers to be granted a civil case trial.</p>
<p data-editable="text" data-uri="www.vulture.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/ckqjwg0ff001o3h6fn0gnwvxe@published" data-word-count="60">It looks like Victoria may be aiming to become the second accuser to get a jury trial. She is suing under California&#8217;s new law, which overlooks the statute of limitations for sex abuse allegations.</p>
