Bill Cosby found liable of sexually abusing teen at Playboy Mansion

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.
