A jury awarded Judy Huth, who was sexually assaulted by Cosby when she was 16, $500,000 in damages. Cosby was expecting to pay millions.
Throughout the trial, Cosby’s legal team attacked Huth’s credibility because of a change in the timeline of her allegations: When she first filed the lawsuit, she claimed the assault had taken place in 1974 when she was 15, but told jurors during the trial she had been wrong about the year, and now believes it was 1975.
Even if Cosby did, in fact, celebrate the $500,000 in damages as a win, for all intents and purposes, he’s now once again a legally recognized sexual assailant. 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.
