[TW: Sexual assault] Bill Cosby sexually assaulted a teenager at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 when she was just 16 years old, a jury in California found. | via philstarlife
Bill Cosby sexually assaulted a teenager at the Playboy Mansion almost 50 years ago, a jury in California found, in the first civil ruling against the veteran entertainer following dozens of allegations.
The man, formerly known as"America's Dad," was jailed in Pennsylvania for drugging and molesting a woman in a separate criminal case in 2018, but was freed last year when his conviction was overturned on a technicality.Over a two-week civil hearing, which Cosby did not attend, lawyers said he escorted Huth and her then-17-year-old friend, Donna Samuelson, to Hugh Hefner's mansion after meeting them on a movie set.
Lawyer Nathan Goldberg said for many years Huth had repressed memories of the assault but that it came to the fore for her when other women began accusing him of assaulting them."It was like a cork popped out of a bottle," said Goldberg at the start of the case."Memories came rushing to the surface... she became overwhelmed by memories of Mr. Cosby and what he had done."
His lawyers made much of apparent discrepancies in Huth's story, including that both teens spent up to 12 hours at the mansion after the alleged assault.
