Bengals Player Conflicting 911 Calls ... In Toys 'R' Us Incident

Bill Cosby Settlement Looming with CA Accuser Criminal Case on the Line
Bill Cosby is defending a case brought by a female accuser that could be even more serious than the criminal case that was just filed ... but we've learned Cosby and the woman may be close to a secret settlement.
Chloe Goins has sued Cosby for sexual assault, claiming he drugged and sexually abused her at the Playboy Mansion in 2008. Goins filed suit October 6th ... but something curious has happened, or should we say, hasn't happened.
We checked the file and there's been absolutely no activity in the case. In fact, Cosby was never served with the lawsuit. The court requires service within 90 days, which means Chloe is days away from the deadline. If Cosby isn't served, the case will almost certainly be dismissed.
Sources connected to the case tell TMZ, the reason why nothing has happened in the case is because both sides have been talking settlement, although no agreement has been reached.
A settlement could be critical, because the L.A. County D.A. is reviewing the case to determine if Cosby should be prosecuted. Our sources say the D.A. is leaning toward filing charges.
If Goins settles the civil case it could severely undermine any criminal case, especially if Goins agrees to a confidentiality clause ... something Cosby would almost certainly insist upon.

Bill Cosby Charged with Felony Sexual Assault
8:17 AM PT -- Attorneys for Andrea Constand released a statement thanking the Montgomery District Attorney's office, County Detectives and the Cheltenham Police Department for their "consideration and courtesy." They added, "In that this matter is now being pursued in the criminal justice system, we will not comment further."
Bill Cosby has just been charged with felony sexual assault ... technically called aggravated indecent assault.
The charges stem from Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, who claims in 2004 Cosby drugged and assaulted her while she was working as the operations manager for the women's basketball team.
Montgomery County authorities investigated her claims, but eventually rejected the case ... citing a lack of evidence.
Constand sued Cosby in 2005 and settled the case a year later.
District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman reopened the investigation this summer after more than 50 women came forward with similar accusations. The D.A. said the charges were based on new evidence.
The D.A. says Cosby gave Constand pills and wine that rendered her unable to consent to sexual contact with Cosby ... something the D.A. says she rejected twice in the past.
Under Pennsylvania's 12-year statute of limitations for felony sex crimes, Ferman's office had until January to file a case based on Constand's claims.
If convicted, Cosby faces up to 10 years in prison.
