Who is Judy Huth?
Judy Huth, 64, is a California woman who gained attention after filing a lawsuit against Bill Cosby.
Cosby, 84, and Huth’s relationship dates back to the 1970s when she was only a teenager.
During that time, she claims that the star sexually assaulted her in a bedroom at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles when she was 16, allegations Cosby has since denied.

“While defendant does not deny that he socialized with plaintiff at the Playboy Mansion, as he did other women and men who frequented the club,” his lawyers said in court papers, via The New York Times, adding that the “defendant vehemently denies that plaintiff was underage.”
Huth’s case was first brought to life in 2014 when she filed the suit and gained traction after he was released from jail.
Cosby is also the target of another civil suit in New Jersey, the was filed by former The Cosby Show star Lili Bernard, who alleges that Cosby drugged and raped her in Atlantic City in 1990.

Over the years, Cosby has been accused of assault by over 60 women, but Huth’s case is the only one involving allegations of child abuse, according to Time.
The allegations eventually led to charges being filed in 2015 and a trial shortly after.
In April 2018, Cosby was found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault and sentenced to three to 10 years in prison.
However, his conviction was overturned in October 2021 by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
At the time, the court found that there had been a “process violation” stemming from an “unusual” previous agreement with state district attorney Bruce Castor that stated that Cosby would not be charged after giving evidence in 2005 during a lawsuit brought against him by former basketball player Andrea Constand.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the court’s ruling bars any retrial in the case.
