“Either the rape did occur or it did not occur,” were the words of Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Debre Katz Weintraub when she ruled that Bill Cosby, and his former lawyer Martin Singer, would give their sworn testimony – no later than November 25 – in the defamation case filed by Janice Dickinson, one of the many women to accuse Cosby of sexual assault within the past year.

When Dickinson filed the defamation suit against Cosby back in May, she said, “I want justice done. I want Lisa Bloom (Dickinson’s attorney) to depose Bill Cosby, get him on the stand and in front of a jury and let the law decide.” She is now getting her wish.

Judge Weintraub’s ruling allows Dickinson’s attorneys to ask questions on the intent of Cosby’s denial of the alleged 1982 sexual assault; whether they made maliciously, or not. There will be a way for Cosby, and his now former attorney, Singer to bypass some answers; there is this thing called attorney-client privilege.

Dickinson, 60, filed the suit claiming that her reputation was damaged due to Cosby’s denial of the allegations. Singer was also a part of the ‘denied it’ crew, and was sued by Andrea Constand in 2006 for those denials. Constand and the attorney were able to come to a settlement before a court proceeding needed to happen.
