A jury has found disgraced actor Bill Cosby sexually abused a 16-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975, awarding the victim $500,000

The victim testified the comedian invited her and a friend to the Playboy Mansion when she was 16, forcing her to perform a sex act.

She told jurors Cosby took her hand and used it to masturbate his penis.

Cosby’s attorneys have long denied the claim and previously attempted to get the case dismissed.

The former actor was sentenced in 2018 to 3 to 10 years in a state prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home back in 2004.

He was released from prison in September 2021 after a Pennsylvania court overturned the conviction, saying Cosby’s due process rights were violated.

U.S. unemployment rises to 4.6%, signaling labor market cooling despite November job gains and economic concerns.

The U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 4.6% in November, marking its highest level in more than four years and signalling a cooling labour market. Despite job gains during the month, broader trends suggest increasing pressure across the economy.

While 64,000 jobs were added in November, the U.S. has now shed jobs in three of the past six months. Federal government employment also fell sharply, adding to concerns about economic momentum heading into the end of the year.

With businesses showing caution around hiring, the latest data raises fresh questions about the resilience of the U.S. labour market and what comes next for workers and employers alike.
