The verdict was determined by a Santa Monica jury, by nine votes to three, after six days of deliberations, in a ruling that orders the actor to pay $500,000 to Judy Huth, the victim who is currently 64 years old, reports the site. specialist of Hollywood Variety.

According to the verdict, Cosby, who had met the minor days before in a park and with whom he had “an affair”, invited her to the famous Playboy Mansionwhere he forced her into various sexual practices.

The defense had argued that the actor was unaware that the woman was a minor and that the sexual relations had been consensual, so he warned that the accusation only sought to get money from him.

The lawsuit had been filed in 2014 but the comedian’s defense managed to delay his treatment through various devices.

It should be remembered that Cosby has dozens of accusations of sexual abuse and, in all cases, it is highlighted that he took advantage of the public’s affection and his family image to attack his victims.

“I’m elated. It’s been so many years, so many tears, it’s just been a long time coming,” Huth told reporters outside the courthouse after hearing the ruling.

For his part, Cosby, 84, did not appear before the jury and offered his testimony virtually. However, her lawyers insisted on pointing out the economic intentions of the victim and the defense when filing this lawsuit, especially after the formal claims of between four and eight million dollars as compensation.

Since the filing of this case, Cosby has faced two other trials in Pennsylvania for sexual assault, in which he has been convicted. After spending three years in a state prison, the process was declared null and the actor regained his freedom.
