Bill Cosby demands settlement back from sex assault complainant Andrea Constand

By Maryclaire Dale, The Associated Press Posted: Feb 18, 2016 12:37 PM ET Last Updated: Feb 18, 2016 1:58 PM ET

Bill Cosby is demanding that the complainant in his criminal case repay a confidential sex-abuse settlement because she co-operated with police who reopened the case and arrested him last year.

Cosby filed a sealed breach-of-contract lawsuit this month that said the settlement barred Andrea Constand from "voluntarily" discussing the case with law enforcement.

The suit said Constand had no legal duty to co-operate with Pennsylvania authorities because she lives in Canada. The interviews she and her mother gave to investigators last year were therefore "voluntary" and violated the settlement terms, the suit said.

"Despite being under no legal obligation to discuss any aspects of the events and allegations ... and despite being expressly prohibited from disclosing such information to anyone, Andrea Constand volunteered to participate and disclosed such information to the district attorney and others," Cosby's lawyers wrote in a redacted suit filed Thursday.
