Ex-prosecutor Bruce Castor: Cosby paid Constand millions of dollars
By Michael R. Sisak, Associated Press November 3, 2017
A former prosecutor claims his decision in 2005 not to charge Bill Cosby with drugging and molesting a woman led to the comedian paying his accuser a settlement “well into the millions of dollars.”
Bruce Castor’s assertion in a lawsuit Thursday against the accuser, Andrea Constand, and her lawyers is the first time anyone has put a value on the confidential settlement.
Castor alleges the women harmed his reputation and cost him a chance to return as district attorney in suburban Philadelphia by publicly criticizing him and suing him for defamation days before the 2015 election.
Castor’s lawsuit doesn’t explain how he would know how much Cosby paid Constand. Castor’s lawyers and Constand’s lawyers, Dolores Troiani and Bebe Kivitz, didn’t immediately return messages.
