Bill Cosby sued by Judy Huth

Bill Cosby, 77 has been sued at the Los Angeles County Superior Court by Judith Huth, a 55 year old Southern California woman who accused the comedian of molesting her in a bedroom of the Playboy Mansion around 1974 when she was 15 years old and asked her to lie about her age.

Judy’s suit claims sexual battery and infliction of emotional distress. Judy’s lawsuit alleges she and a friend met the comedian at his tennis club for drinks, having previously encountered him on a film set. After several drinks, she claims, the actor then took her to the Playboy Mansion where he allegedly forced her to perform a sex act with him.

Huth's sexual battery lawsuit does not specify how much she is seeking from Cosby, who has in recent weeks faced renewed accusations that he drugged and sexually assaulted more than a dozen women for many years.

Huth's lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, however, is the first time that a woman has claimed she was underage when she was abused, and it is the first lawsuit Cosby has faced claiming sexual abuse since 2005.

Huth's lawsuit, however, contends that she became aware of the serious effect the abuse had on her within the past three years. California law allows victims of sex abuse when they were minors to bring a claim after adulthood if they discover later in life that they suffered psychological injuries as a result of the abuse.
