Cosby in court again
A notable civil lawsuit against comedian Bill Cosby is going to trial in Los Angeles today. The 85yo was jailed in 2018 after he was found guilty of drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004, but he was released from prison a year ago when his conviction was quashed over a “process violation”. The latest case was first filed in 2014, and it’s based on accusations Cosby assaulted Judy Huth at the Playboy mansion in 1975 when she was underage. Another Cosby accuser Victoria Valentino said the latest trial could be his victims’ “last stand for justice” with 11 similar claims ending in settlements. Cosby has long denied all the allegations against him, spanning 5 decades. The 85yo won’t appear in court, and opening arguments are expected to begin on 1 June. The trial is expected to last around a week.
