Case 2:05-cv-01099-ER Document 79-9 Filed 04/12/06 Page 2 of 5
FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS

Plaintiff, Andrea Constand, brought this civil action against defendant, William H.

Cosby, Jr., asserting claims of battery, sexual assault, intentional and negligent infliction of

emotional distress, defamation/defamation per se and false light/invasion of privacy. Plaintiff,

allegedly a Canadian citizen, alleges that she met defendant while she was employed at Temple

University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The crux of plaintiff's complaint is that, while alone with defendant at defendant's

Pennsylvania home in January 2004, defendant deceived plaintiff into ingesting a drug which

caused her to become semi-conscious. According to plaintiff, defendant thereafter sexually

assaulted her. Defendant denies plaintiff's allegations. In March 2004, plaintiff moved from

Philadelphia to Ontario, Canada.

In January 2005, plaintiff reported defendant's alleged actions to the Durham, Ontario

police. The Durham police officers who spoke with plaintiff issued a report of their conversation

with her. The report itself identifies David Mason and Ken Anderson as its authors. Plaintiff

contends that the report is inaccurate.

Plaintiff alleges that, after she spoke to police, she and her mother had telephone

conversations with defendant. She further contends that after she reported defendant's alleged

actions to the Durham, Ontario police, defendant and/or his authorized representatives

knowingly made false statements to the media about plaintiff. The Durham Ontario police

subsequently referred plaintiff's case to police in Pennsylvania. The District Attorney of

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania decided not to file criminal proceedings against defendant.

In March 2005, plaintiff filed this civil action. Plaintiff alleges that defendant's conduct

has caused her, among other things, "mental anguish," "post-traumatic stress disorder," "the loss

of enjoyment of life's pleasures," "a set back in her education," and a "loss of earnings and

earning capacity." Plaintiff seeks an award of compensatory damages plus reasonable attorneys'

fees, interest, costs, punitive damages and other unspecified relief.

The parties are currently conducting discovery. To test plaintiff's allegations and prepare

his defense, defendant seeks testimony and documents from several individuals and entities

located in Ontario, Canada. Unable to procure these documents and testimony through domestic

channels or agreement, defendant has applied to this Court for assistance. Defendant sought an

international letter of request to the appropriate court in Ontario, Canada in order to obtain the

testimony he seeks. This court granted defendant's request and issued this letter.

This Court is of competent jurisdiction and authorizes defendant to take depositions of

David Mason and Ken Anderson for purposes of this case. The information sought is relevant

and necessary as a matter of pre-trial discovery. The evidence is not otherwise obtainable. In

this Court's view, the relief sought is not unduly burdensome.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

This Court hereby prays that the appropriate court in Ontario compel David Mason and

Ken Anderson of the Durham police department in Ontario to participate in depositions in

Ontario. The depositions will cover the officers' investigation into the alleged attack and the

accuracy of the report generated from that investigation. David Mason, Ken Anderson, and the

Durham Police Department are outside the subpoena power of this or any United States court

and the testimony sought is not otherwise obtainable by the defendant.

in Ontario in executing this Court's request for international judicial assistance are reimbursable.
