Bill Cosby sued; woman alleges he sexually assaulted her in 1974 (at 15 years old)

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-bill-cosby-sued-20141202-story.html

A Riverside County woman filed a lawsuit Tuesday against embattled comedian Bill Cosby, alleging he sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion in 1974, when she was 15 years old.

In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Judy Huth said she met the comedian in 1974, after she and a 16-year-old friend wandered over to a movie set in a San Marino park where Cosby was working. Cosby allegedly approached the teenagers, invited them to sit in his director's chair and asked how old they were, according to the lawsuit.

The comedian also invited the girls to his L.A. County tennis club the following Saturday, according to the lawsuit. They met him there and followed him to another house, where Cosby allegedly "served them alcoholic beverages and played games of billiards" with Huth, the lawsuit alleges.

Huth alleged she was required to drink a beer every time Cosby won a game, according to the lawsuit.


After the teens were served "multiple alcoholic beverages," the lawsuit claims, Cosby had them follow him to the Playboy mansion, telling the girls that if "any of the Playboy bunnies asked their age, they should say they were 19."

The article itself states that only from 1988 on there is no time limit on abuses against these teens.
