After numerous sexual assault allegations, Bill Cosby faces another kind of trouble. A defamation lawsuit has been filed against the actor in a federal court in Springfield.

Tamara Green had previously gone public with her accusations back in 2005. She was able to talk to The Philadelphia Inquirer and make an appearance on "Today," claiming Cosby had allegedly sexually assaulted her in the 1970s as reported by Mail Online. Green said a mutual friend had introduced her to the actor, who asked for her assistance in raising funds for a business project.

According to the allegations, Cosby invited her out for lunch at an unspecified restaurant in Los Angeles. During their meeting Green had supposedly informed the comedian that she was feeling ill. The actor then gave her some pills, which he allegedly claimed were over the counter cold medicine. The lawsuit stated Green began to feel weak and disoriented after taking the pils.

The actor reportedly drove her home and proceeded to undress and sexually assault the victim. According to the lawsuit, Green struggled to fight off the comedian's attack. But he allegedly didn't stop until her struggles caused a table lamp to topple over. That's when Cosby supposedly left her apartment after leaving two $100-bills on her coffee table.

Reuters reports that Green is seeking unspecified punitive damages, claiming the actor is liable for the conduct of his lawyer and publicist. She is represented by Joseph Cammarata, an attorney who has previously worked with Paula Jones during her sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton. Speaking for her client, Cammarata explains the lawsuit will provide an opportunity for Green and other alleged victims to air out their complaints in court without any complications. Even Green called out to the comedian saying, "Bill Cosby will also have his day in court, and I look forward to that event."

More than 20 women have gone public to accuse the comedian of sexual assault. It's believed that until now Cosby has yet to be criminally charged, with his legal team claiming that none of the allegations are true. The actor continues to stay silent and refuses to answer any inquiries about the accusations.
