Bill Cosby has been reported to have hired a couple of private investigators to dig up dirt on his alleged rape victims in a bid to expose and discredit them.

According to The Fox News, the comedian, who has been battling with an onslaught of sexual accusations of more than two dozen women over many years, had paid six-figure fees to investigators to find information.

It was reported and confirmed by his attorney Martin Singer that Cosby was implementing a “scorched-earth strategy” in which anything negative in his accusers’ pasts was fair game.

Cosby told his legal and public-relations team recently that the world needs to know what kind of people the accusers are who are raising the fingers against the 77-year-old star.
