Bill Cosby has agreed to settle lawsuits filed by 7 women who say he defamed them when he accused them of lying about sexual misconduct allegations.
The women suing Cosby claim he defamed them by branding them liars.
A lawyer representing the women said that if Cosby does not drop his counterclaim against the women, they would seek to depose Cosby and gather other documents and evidence.
Cosby’s counterclaim accuses the women of harming his reputation through their accusations.
Cosby, 81 years old, is serving 3 to 10 years in jail.
