BOSTON: Actor and comedian Bill Cosby on Monday filed a countersuit against seven women who had accused him of defaming them by saying they lied when they accused him of sexual assault, charging that they had tarnished his reputation.

The counter-suit, filed in U.S. District Court in

Springfield, Massachusetts, contends that the women defamed his “honorable legacy and reputation” by accusing him of sexual misconduct.
