In another instance months later, Cosby invited Pinkerton to a show at the Chicago Theatre and forcefully kissed and touched her without consent, the suit says.Cosby “engaged in the same or similar pattern of conduct” with his other victims, the suit alleges, by expressing interest in advancing their careers as a means to drug and sexually assault them.Pinkerton is also suing NBC, Kaufman Astoria Studios, and Carsey-Werner Company – the companies that managed the Cosby Show – for negligence and negligent hiring, supervision and retention.Pinkerton has accused Cosby of sexual assault publicly in the past, but her lawsuit comes after a New York law was passed that gives adult survivors of sexual assault one year to file lawsuits against their perpetrators even if the statute of limitations on their claims has expired.Cosby’s lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, told CNN on the phone that New York’s new law is “going down a dangerous path.”“We’re not totally surprised that when the New York state legislature decided to abolish the statute of limitations, it was going to lead to a number of stale allegations that are being revived,” Bonjean told CNN."
