Cosby, now 85, allegedly promised to help her career but drugged her at a restaurant in Illinois then took her back to a hotel and molested her.

Her claims come more than a year after Cosby left prison having overturned his 2018 sexual assault conviction.

The lawsuit, filed with Manhattan Supreme Court, also alleges three media companies involved in making The Cosby Show should have known he was a danger to women and failed to protect Pinkerton from him.

Cosby denies all the allegations against him.
