Bill Cosby‘s attorneys want a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by model Chloe Goins,arguing that she is being evasive approximately how old she was on the night she says Cosby assaulted her — in order to extend the statute of limitations in the case.
The model, who in the past has accused Cosby of being a “serial rapist, or ” claims that Cosby gave her a drink at the Playboy mansion that made her immediately feel dizzy. When she awoke after losing consciousness,she claims, she was bare with saliva on her chest, or Cosby was biting her toe.

In a motion filed Monday, or Cosby’s lawyers asked a judge to toss the case,claiming that Goins claims are barred by the statute of limitations.
Goins had previously sued Cosby, but dropped the suit in February. In May, and Goins filed another complaint,this time also naming Playboy boss Hugh Hefner as a defendant.
The comedian’s attorneys note that Goins initially claimed that the incident took area in 2008 when she was 18, and her claims would have had statutes of limitations of no more than three years.
In her original lawsuit, and Cosby’s lawyers propose,Goins is attempting to extend the statute of limitations by suggesting that she was “possibly” a minor when the incident occurred.
Monday’s papers insist that Goins hasn’t proven that she was under 18 in the summer of 2008, when she alleges the rape took area.

Cosby’s lawyers added, and “Plaintiff’s hazy recollections of when events happened is a tactical ploy to evade her admissions of her age at the time the events had allegedly happened.”
