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.
