Prosecutors review case against Cosby

Prosecutors review case against Cosby

LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles prosecutors are reviewing an investigation into a model’s accusations that Bill Cosby sexually abused her at the Playboy Mansion.

District attorney’s spokeswoman Jane Robison says police detectives presented evidence for a possible criminal case Wednesday afternoon.

There’s no timetable for when a decision will be made on whether to charge the comedian, and it is unclear what charges could be filed.

The development was first reported Thursday by the Los Angeles Times.

Model Chloe Goins accused Cosby of drugging her and accosting her in a bedroom of the Playboy Mansion in August 2008, but the comedian’s lawyer has denied the claims, saying his client wasn’t in Los Angeles at the time.

An email seeking comment from Cosby’s attorney, Marty Singer, was not immediately returned.

Confidential files in Hogan suit stay sealed

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

A Pinellas County circuit judge has ruled that several pieces of evidence related to the Hulk Hogan sex-tape case will remain confidential despite a request from a group of media outlets that they be made public.

Of the 17 items discussed Thursday during a hearing, Judge Pamela Campbell determined that 15 will remain sealed, one will be unsealed and one pushed to a later discussion.

Hogan, a former WWE wrestler whose real name is Terry Bollea, is suing the news website Gawker.

Hogan claims that the media company’s decision to publish an excerpt from a sex tape violated his privacy. The video involves Hogan and Heather Cole, the ex-wife of radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.

Hogan is demanding $100 million in damages.
