Bill Cosby's lawyer says actor will not 'dignify' unsubstantiated rape allegations

Bill Cosby, who has been involved in the alleged rape case, has refused to address the much-talked controversy.

The American comedian's lawyer said that over the last several weeks, decade-old, "discredited allegations" against the 77-year-old actor had resurfaced and fact that they were being repeated did not make them true. TMZ.com reported.

Cosby's lawyer added that the actor did not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment and he would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support.

Bill had been accused of rape by 13 women over the years.
