Bill Cosby sexually abused a 16yo girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 – that’s according to the jury of a civil trial who yesterday found in favour of Judy Huth, who is now 64yo. She was awarded US$500,000 and said the fact that jurors believed her story meant more than the cash. “To be ripped apart, you know, thrown under the bus and backed over. This, to me, is such a big victory,” she said. Cosby didn’t give evidence in the trial, but he previously agreed that he met Huth and her friends and took them to Hugh Hefner’s place – but he denied assaulting her. Legal eagles say it’s a significant defeat for the 84yo comedian/actor who was known as ‘America’s dad’. It’s been nearly a year since Cosby’s criminal conviction for sexual assault was thrown out and he was freed from prison – and Huth’s lawsuit was one of the last remaining legal claims against him. Reports say his insurer settled many others against his will.
