Model Chloe Goins drops sex abuse lawsuit against Bill Cosby

SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- A model has dropped her lawsuit accusing Bill Cosby of drugging and sexually abusing her at the Playboy Mansion in 2008.

Federal court records show Chloe Goins dismissed her lawsuit on Tuesday without explanation.

Her filing in Los Angeles was done in a way that would allow it to be refiled at a later date.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles decided last month not to file criminal charges against Cosby over her claims, noting that some details could not be corroborated.

Goins sued Cosby in October. Cosby had not yet responded to the case.

His previous lawyer denied that Cosby was in Los Angeles at the time Goins said she was abused.

Attorneys for Cosby and Goins did not immediately return email messages.

Cosby was in Montgomery County court on Tuesday for a hearing where Cosby's lawyers asked a judge to throw out the sexual assault charges brought by Andrea Constand, a former Temple University athletic department employee.
