Former Hollywood actor and comedian Bill Cosby is back inside
the courtroom, this time over claims he sexually assaulted a person
considered to be a minor in California.
The former celebrity was released from a federal prison last
year when his criminal conviction for drugging and sexually
assaulting Andrea Constand was overturned.
Now, Mr
Cosby faces a civil lawsuit commenced by a woman named Judy
Huth, who claims the former star sexually assaulted her at the
Playboy mansion when she was 16 years old.
Ms Huth filed the lawsuit in 2014 – when Cosby was facing
multiple sexual assault charges – but the case was delayed
pending finalisation of criminal matters.
She claims in court documents that she and a female friend met
Bill Cosby at a park. She claims that days later, Cosby took the
pair to play tennis and gave them alcohol, before taking them to
the Playboy mansion.
