Bill Cosby Rape Allegations: Comedian's Lawyer Says He Can Prove Latest Accusations are False
Bill Cosby may be able to prove the latest accusations against him are false.
Cosby's attorney Martin D. Singer said Friday he was not at the Playboy Mansion on the night that model Chloe Goins accused him of drugging and sexually abusing her, the Associated Press reported.
According to the comedian's attorney, he was in New York that night and said he will present evidence to authorities detailing Cosby's whereabouts during the time of the allegations.
Goins' allegations may fall within the time period Bill Cosby could be charged, while other accusers fall outside civil and criminal statutes of limitations. The model said the incident took place during an even in August 2008.
"Mr. Cosby was in New York on that date," Singer wrote in a statement.
"We will be providing documentary evidence to the appropriate authorities, which conclusively establishes Mr. Cosby's whereabouts on Aug. 9 and for the preceding and succeeding days."
The model's attorney Spencer Kuvin said in response, "We look forward to seeing this alleged proof."
NBC Chairman Bob Greenblatt stopped collaborating with Cosby on future projects on Friday.
Although none of the accusations against Cosby have been proven in court, Greenblatt said, "When that many people come out and have such similar complaints, it became a tainted situation."
More than 15 women have publicly accused the 77-year-old comedian of sexual assault, according to Vox.
The latest accuser and her attorney met with the Los Angeles Police Department detectives last Wednesday to discuss filing criminal charges against Cosby.
"The LAPD will be the judge in whether his evidence is sufficient or not. Let's see his proof. Until then, it is just a lawyer talking, which is not evidence," Singer said.
Cosby has joked about the scandal in a recent show in Canada, and his attorney has denied some of the previous allegations.
