Model Drops Sex Abuse Lawsuit Against Bill Cosby

SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com/AP) — A model has dropped her lawsuit accusing Bill Cosby of drugging and sexually abusing her at the Playboy Mansion in 2008.

Federal court records show Chloe Goins dismissed her lawsuit on Tuesday without explanation.

Her filing in Los Angeles was done in a way that would allow it to be refiled at a later date.

Prosecutors decided last month not to file criminal charges against Cosby over her claims, noting that some details could not be corroborated.

In January 2015 Chloe Goins met with LAPD detectives and alleged Cosby took advantage of her in a bedroom where she passed out and later awoke to find him licking her toes while he pleasured himself. Goins was 18 at the time, according to her attorney, Spencer Kuvin.

She later sued Cosby in October. Cosby had not yet responded to the case.

His previous lawyer denied that Cosby was in Los Angeles at the time Goins said she was abused.

Attorneys for Cosby and Goins did not immediately return email messages.
