Prosecutors Decline to File Charges on Bill Cosby

Los Angeles County prosecutors have declined to file any charges against comedian Bill Cosby over allegations that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1974. The rejection of a child sexual abuse charge by prosecutors came roughly 10 days after Judy Huth and her attorney spoke to LAPD detectives. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office rejected filing a misdemeanor charge of annoying or molesting a child under the age of 18 because the statute of limitations had passed. In a civil lawsuit filed against Cosby, Huth claimed the comedian sexually abused her. Huth says she and a 16-year-old friend first met Cosby on a movie set at Lacy Park in San Marino in 1974 when she was just 15 years old.

They approached Cosby, who after conversation invited them to visit his tennis club the following Saturday. The next week, Huth and her friend met the actor at his tennis club. Upon arrival, Cosby told them to follow him to a house, where he served them alcohol and played billiards with Huth. For every game Cosby won, Huth was told to drink a beer, the lawsuit alleges. The suit further claims that after several drinks, Cosby led them to another house in Los Angeles that turned out to be the Playboy Mansion. He allegedly told them to say they were 19 if asked their age.
