She has accused the actor of forcing her to perform a sex act while at the Playboy Mansion when she was 16-years-old in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCosby\u2019s attorneys have conceded that he met Huth and took her to the Playboy Mansion. An undated photo of the two of them there shows as much. But they thoroughly deny that any assault took place,\u201d the Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/bill-cosby-sex-assault-trial-california-4c6d629714f73ef8685aeaf2e49c8a27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd they say that Huth was actually 18 when the mansion visit occurred, which would make any violation significantly less serious under California law,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<p>The case is one of the final remaining legal cases Cosby faces in the actor\u2019s long-time battle regarding multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. Nearly 60 people, according to the Los Angeles Times, have accused the comedian of various sexual crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations were first made public in 2014, though the case faced multiple setbacks regarding the statute of limitations for reporting abuse.<\/p>\n<p>The Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/story\/2022-05-25\/bill-cosby-judy-huth-child-sexual-assault-allegations-playboy-mansion-what-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated<\/a> that, \u201cHuth said that after she used the bathroom, she opened the door to find Cosby sitting on the bed. She alleged he then tried to put his hand down her pants, and grabbed her hand and made her perform a sexual act on him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case after an appeal concerning Cosby\u2019s overturned conviction in 2021 involving a previous sexual assault conviction, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/supreme-court-rejects-appeal-for-overturned-conviction-in-bill-cosby-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling left in place a 4-3 decision by Pennsylvania\u2019s Supreme Court that Cosby\u2019s 2018 conviction violated his due process rights. Cosby was released in June following the overturned decision.<\/p>\n<p>In November, Montgomery County\u2019s district attorney appealed the Pennsylvania ruling to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>Cosby\u2019s publicist, Andrew Wyatt, released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/03\/07\/politics\/supreme-court-bill-cosby\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> on behalf of Cosby\u2019s family following the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Cosby\u2019s Constitutional Rights were a \u2018reprehensible bait and switch\u2019 by Kevin Steele, Judge Steve T. O\u2019Neill and their cohorts,\u201d Wyatt said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is truly a victory for Mr. Cosby but it shows that cheating will never get you far in life and the corruption that lies within Montgomery County District\u2019s Attorney Office has been brought to the center stage of the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Cosby spent nearly three years in prison before the case was overturned.<\/p>\n<p>In the current case, Cosby is not expected to testify, according to the AP\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsfront\/bill-cosby-sexual-abuse-allegations-trial\/2022\/06\/01\/id\/1072424\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCosby\u2019s representatives say glaucoma has left him blind and made travel too difficult,\u201d according to the report, with the case being held in Santa Monica, California.<\/p>\n<p>If found guilty, the civil case will not result in Cosby serving jail time. Cosby could instead be found liable for damages if a guilty verdict is determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedian and actor Bill Cosby will face sex abuse allegations in court on Wednesday as another alleged victim has come forward to reveal misconduct claims.
