Model drops lawsuit against Bill Cosby

Former Playboy model Chloe Goins has dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against US comedian Bill Cosby.

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.
