SANTA MONICA — Jury selection is scheduled to begin Tuesday in, who alleges she was sexually abused by the comedian at the Playboy Mansion in the 1970s when she was a minor.
But according to the Cosby attorneys’ court papers filed recently with Santa Monica Superior Court Judge Craig Karlan, Huth “has a whole new story now: she claims that the incident happened in February and/or March 1975 — shortly before her 17th birthday.” Opening statements are scheduled for June 1, and the trial is expected to last about two weeks. Huth’s case is the first civil suit against Cosby to reach trial after many others ended in settlements.
Huth was able to bring the civil suit under a California law allowing adults who say they were victims of sexual abuse as minors but repressed what happened to them for years.
