Cosby Ordered to Give Deposition in California Case
Bill Cosby has been ordered to give a deposition in a California lawsuit brought by a woman who says he sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion in the 1970s.
Cosby is scheduled to give his deposition October 9th. His accuser, Judy Huth, will give hers on October 15th. Huth’s attorney, Gloria Allred, made the scheduling public on Wednesday, NBC reports.
“We are pleased that we will now be able to move ahead without further delay on Ms. Huth’s case,” Allred said.
Huth filed her suit in December. In it, the the 55-year-old Huth says that Cosby invited her to his tennis club in Los Angeles County in 1974 when she was 15. Once she was there, she alleges in the lawsuit, Cosby engaged her in a game of billiards and required her to drink a beer whenever Cosby won a game.
After she had several drinks, Huth says that Cosby took her to the Playboy Mansion. There, claims Huth, Cosby attempted to “sexually molest her by attempting to put his hand down her pants, and then taking her hand in his hand and performing a sex act on himself without her consent.”
More than 40 women have come forward with accusations against the comedian. Cosby has never been charged with a crime, and he has repeatedly denied the accusations of sexual assault.
