In a report by Fox News, Bill Cosby sought respite from his seven women accusers' deliberate campaign for their own financial gain to destroy his character by awarding him punitive and compensatory damages to the utmost extent granted by the law.
In addition, the women who accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault were demanded to be recommended to publicly renounce their statements about the actor. They should also be forbidden from their “intentional, extreme, outrageous and morally repugnant conduct.”
