PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A woman who settled a sex abuse lawsuit against Bill Cosby has sued the former prosecutor who declined to file charges, saying he has defamed her through recent attacks on her credibility.
Andrea Constand's defamation lawsuit cites a series of comments that Bruce L. Castor Jr. made to the media as he runs for another term as district attorney in Montgomery County, near Philadelphia.
The suit, filed Monday, accuses Castor of rendering her "collateral damage for his political ambitions."
Castor has said Constand gave a different story to police in January 2005 than the felony assault she described in her lawsuit that same year.
