Bill Cosby's accuser, model Chloe Goins withdrew her civil lawsuit following the prosecutors' refusal to file charges against the comedian.

The model claimed that the former "Cosby Show" star sexually assaulted her after her drink got drugged at a party at the Playboy Mansion back in 2008. The accuser also described Cosby as a "serial rapist" and demanded damages in excess of $75, 000 in her lawsuit.

Goins filed the complaint last October and explicitly described her ordeal at Cosby's hands in an LA party at Hugh Hefner's Playboy home. After getting knocked out by the drink Cosby offered her, she was surprised to wake up naked with Cosby.

"Ms. Goins awoke to find that her breasts were wet and sticky, as if someone had been licking them, and Bill Cosby was biting one of her toes as he crouched at the end of the bed," the lawsuit stated as quoted by Yahoo News.

According to a report by The Vulture, prosecutors found the case difficult to prove due to a strong evidence showing that the accused was not in California when the alleged indecent assault took place.

Goins' case is just one of the several complaints lodged by dozens of other women against Cosby.

In a pre-trial for multiple counts of sexual assault charges filed against Cosby, the defense panel's key witness, former District Attorney Bruce Castor, testified about his decision not to press charges in relation with Andrea Constand's rape claims back in 2005.

"The behavior detailed within (police interviews) was inconsistent with a person who had been sexually assaulted," Castor testified. "Her [Andrea Constand] actions, on her own, including going to a lawyer before going to police, had created a credibility issue for her that could never be improved upon," said Castor as quoted in a report by USA Today. counts of sexual assault charges filed against Cosby, the defense panel's key witness, former District Attorney Bruce Castor, testified about his decision not to press charges in relation with Andrea Constand's rape claims back in 2005.
