Bill Cosby, the disgraced comedian, has been accused of sexually assaulting nine women by using his "enormous power, fame, and prestige.".
The women claim that between 1979 and 1992, the former actor and comedian drugged and assaulted them in homes, dressing rooms, and hotels in Nevada.
Recently, the state eliminated the deadline for submitting these claims.
Their "addiction to massive amounts of media attention and greed," according to Mr. Cosby's spokesman, drove them.
The 85-year-old former star, who achieved enormous fame in the 1980s and 1990s thanks to his sitcom The Cosby Show, has been the target of a number of civil and criminal cases. This latest one is the latest in those cases.
He was sentenced to prison in 2018 for drugging and assaulting a woman, but in 2021 his conviction was overturned on a technicality.
He was found guilty of sexually assaulting a teen at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles in 1975, and the victim was given $500,000 (£407,000) in damages by a jury in a civil trial last June.
Victoria Valentino, a former Playboy model, sued him earlier this month, claiming that he had sexually assaulted her in 1969 after they had dinner together. More than 60 women have alleged wrongdoing against him overall.
A few of the parties to the most recent lawsuit have previously accused him in front of the public. Among them are Janice Dickinson, a model and television personality, and Lili Bernard, a former guest star on The Cosby Show, both of whom claim he drugged and raped them.
The statute of limitations in Nevada, which required accusers to file civil lawsuits within two years, has recently been lifted for cases of adult sexual abuse.
Such so-called "lookback laws," according to Cosby's spokesman Andrew Wyatt, are problematic.
He said, "We will no longer permit these women to parade various accounts of an alleged allegation against Mr. Cosby going forward without vetting them in the court of public opinion and inside of the courtroom.
