Bill Cosby has been sued by a women, who had accused him of sexual assault, for lying that he never even touched her.
The woman named Tamara Green had claimed that during a lunch date, the comedian, 77, had drugged her and then groped her at her apartment in the early '70s, TMZ.com reported.
Green, who had made this claim earlier as well, in 2005 on the 'Today Show', and again to Newsweek and the Washington Post in 2014, has now filed a defamation lawsuit against Cosby in Massachusetts, saying that his denial have branded her a liar.
The retired attorney added that it was because of that, she has been ridiculed in her private as well as professional life.
It looks like Green have found a loophole make a punishable case against Cosby, as the sexual allegations against him being more than 40 years old were highly unlikely to get under criminal charges.
