ABC News reports Chloe Goins alleged in the lawsuit that back in 2008, she was invited to the Playboy mansion by Bill Cosby. While there he allegedly gave her a drink that soon made her dizzy before taking her into one of the mansion’s bedrooms. Goins passed out, and when she awoke she was naked. Bill Cosby was allegedly biting her toes.
Bill Cosby previously denied Chloe Goins’ allegations via his attorneys, claiming he wasn’t at the Playboy mansion on the date the alleged event took place. As he has with the lawsuits filed against him by a bevy of other women, he also denied anything sexual took place.
Both police investigators and prosecutors looked into Chloe Goins’ allegations against Bill Cosby because they may have taken place within the California statute of limitations. No charges were ever filed, however, as prosecutors said they were unable to corroborate her story.
