Bill Cosby

The complainant had filed a lawsuit in 2014 stating that the comedian sexually abused her in the Playboy Mansion when she was 16.

He had served just under three years in jail. The woman had filed a lawsuit against Cosby in December 2014. “To be ripped apart, you know, thrown under the bus and backed over. “It has been torture,” she said of the seven-year legal fight. The original filing said that the assault took place in 1974 when the complainant was 15, but the timeline was later revised to 1975 when she was 16. The complainant had filed a lawsuit in 2014 stating that the comedian sexually abused her in the Playboy Mansion when she was 16.

What made Huth’s civil suit unique is that she was allegedly a minor at the time of the incident. “Her coming forward inspired others to find their voices,” Berhard said outside the court. The comedian has been sued by several other women over the past few years, 11 of whom agreed to settlements. Cosby was not present in Los Angeles for the most recent trial, having invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. In Huth’s original 2014 complaint, she said the former comedian intentionally inflicted emotional distress and sexually assaulted her when she was just 16 years old. He has already served just under three years in a Pennsylvania prison after being convicted of three counts of felony sexual assault in 2018 before his conviction was overturned on appeal.

A California civil jury found Bill Cosby liable for sexually assaulting Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 when she was just 16 years old.

In her lawsuit against Cosby, Constand claimed that when she was an administrator with the Temple University women’s basketball team in 2004, Cosby—whom she said she regarded as a mentor—drugged and sexually assaulted her at his home in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. Cosby has consistently denied all accusations against him, maintaining that all of his sexual encounters have been consensual. When she emerged, he asked her to sit down on the bed with him and proceeded to molest her, the lawsuit claimed. The lawsuit went on to state that when Huth needed to go to the bathroom, Cosby directed her to a bathroom in a bedroom suite.

A spokesperson for Bill Cosby calls the verdict of Judy Huth's trial an "astonishing victory," yet says he will appeal the jury's decision.

In the alternative, it may be that that the $3 million amount is what Mr. Cosby had to spend to hire countless lawyers over the years in his unsuccessful effort to defend himself from Ms. Huth’s lawsuit.” “Within a few weeks, Attorney Jennifer Bonjean will be in Judge Craig D. Karlan court to appeal the $500,000 verdict, which means that Ms. Huth will never receive a payday from Mr. Cosby and her estimated mounting legal bills ($3 million plus dollars) with Allred, Maroko & Goldberg will be outstanding for many years to come,” the statement continues. “The Cosby’s are thankful to those particular jurors who removed their bias and ruled on the evidence and facts of this case.” On Tuesday, the jury found Cosby liable of sexually abusing Huth as a teen, but did not award her punitive damages. “Mr. Cosby’s spokesperson appears to be trying to snatch victory from the jaws of Mr. Cosby’s significant defeat,” Allred tells Variety. “Ms. Huth has no legal bills for fees with my law firm. Allred continues, making a reference to an old interview Cosby did with Oprah: “Many years ago, Mr. Cosby said on the news, ‘Believe a child when she says someone is fondling her.’ The jury in Ms. Huth’s case demonstrated that they believed her by awarding her $500,000 in compensatory damages.

Jurors found that Cosby intentionally caused harmful sexual contact with Huth.

He pointed out to jurors that Samuelson said “games like Donkey Kong” when she first mentioned it in her deposition. “We don’t need game over! It comes nearly a year after his Pennsylvania criminal conviction for sexual assault was thrown out and he was freed from prison. Huth filed her lawsuit in 2014, saying that her son turning 15 — the age she initially remembered being when she went to the mansion — and a wave of other women accusing Cosby of similar acts brought fresh trauma over what she had been through as a teenager. Huth’s lawsuit was one of the last remaining legal claims against him after his insurer settled many others against his will. Huth testified that in a bedroom adjacent to a game room where the three had been hanging out, Cosby attempted to put his hand down her pants, then exposed himself and forced her to perform a sex act.

Judy Huth had testified that the comedian invited her and a friend to the mansion when she was 16, and he was 37, and forced her to perform a sex act. The verdict came nearly a year after Cosby was freed from prison when Pennsylvania's highest court threw out his sexual assault conviction in a different criminal case there.

"The jurors decided to grant Judy Huth with a $500,000 verdict but voted 9-3 in favor of not rewarding Ms. Huth any punitive damages." "Yesterday actor and comedian Bill Cosby was awarded an astonishing victory by jurors in a civil trial brought by Judy Huth," spokesman Andrew Wyatt said, according to Variety. Despite the ruling, a spokesman for the veteran entertainer said the case was an "astonishing victory" for Cosby, and insisted the actor would appeal.

A jury awarded Judy Huth, who was sexually assaulted by Cosby when she was 16, $500000 in damages. Cosby was expecting to pay millions.

According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the use of these statements in the Constand case was a violation of Cosby’s Fifth Amendment rights. Huth, now 64, first filed the civil suit in 2014, alleging that Cosby molested her when she was 16 after he invited her and a friend to the Playboy mansion in the mid-1970s. In her complaint, Huth said she first met Cosby at a park while he was shooting a movie in Los Angeles, and invited Huth and her friend to his tennis club. Last summer, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that Cosby’s conviction for assaulting Constand had to be thrown out because it relied on his statements from a previous deposition—which a previous prosecutor had promised would not be used to charge Cosby. In that deposition, Cosby admitted to giving quaaludes to women before assaulting them. Cosby wasn’t even in the room when the verdict was read. The verdict was read on Tuesday in Santa Monica, California, and Cosby was ordered to pay Judy Huth $500,000 in damages.
