Victoria Valentino is suing the comedian under a new California law temporarily lifting the statute of limitations on such cases.
The woman said the alleged assault came after she had met Cosby in New York and he promised to help her career.

Jurors found that the comedian intentionally caused harmful sexual contact with Judy Huth, now 64, and awarded her $500,000.
