A LAWYER for a woman who accused Bill Cosby of assaulting her at the Playboy Mansion in the mid-1970s told a California jury on Wednesday the comedian had a sense of “entitlement,” while Mr. Cosby’s lawyer called the alleged assault a “fabrication.” READ:

The statements came at the start of a civil trial for Mr. Cosby, 11 months after he was freed from prison when Pennsylvania’s highest court threw out his sexual assault conviction in a different case.

In his opening statement, Ms. Huth’s lawyer Nathan Goldberg emphasized to the Santa Monica jury how Mr. Cosby was already a “star” when he met Ms. Huth, and he showed jurors a photo of them together from the day Ms. Huth said she was assaulted. Now 84, Cosby is best known for his role as the lovable husband and father in the 1980s television comedy seriesBut his family-friendly reputation was shattered after more than 50 women accused him of sexual assaults over nearly five decades.

Mr. Goldberg said Ms. Huth will testify, as will two other women who said Mr. Cosby assaulted them in 1975. The trial is expected to last about two weeks.
