Bill Cosby found guilty of sexually abusing 16-year-old in 1975 (The Siasat Daily)

A civil jury found that comedian-actor Bill Cosby sexually abused Judy Huth in 1975 when she was a 16-year-old.

The jury repeatedly asked questions, and was stuck on whether the case rose to the level of triggering punitive damages. But she got scared when Cosby had her sit next to him on a bed. “I was elated,” Huth said outside the courthouse, reacting to the verdict and telling reporters that she is grateful for the jury. Judge Karlan initially said he would take a partial verdict on Friday afternoon, but changed his mind when a sheriff’s deputy informed him that the courthouse would close within a few minutes. Nine jurors voted that they agreed that Cosby’s conduct was motivated by an “unnatural or abnormal sexual interest in a minor, while three jurors did not agree. Cosby’s team appeared to be pleased with the outcome.

Bill Cosby has been found guilty by jurors in a civil trial of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975.

In 2018, he was jailed for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in 2004, but his conviction was overturned on a legal technicality almost a year ago. Following Huth’s legal win, a spokesperson for Cosby, Andrew Wyatt, said the actor’s team plans to appeal the decision. In legal filings and court testimony, Huth said she and a friend had met Cosby, then aged 37, at a park, and that they were invited by him to the Playboy Mansion.

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.

Bill Cosby Calls Verdict 'Astonishing Victory' After Jury Finds He ... (Variety)

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.

Bill Cosby Celebrates Light Penalty for Sexually Assaulting a ... (Jezebel)

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.
