Judith Huth speaks out after Bill Cosby found liable in civil trial
Judith Huth says she’s "happy as can be" after jurors found Bill Cosby sexually abused her in 1975 at the Playboy mansion when she was a teen.
Bill Cosby was accused of sexual battery and false imprisonment in a new civil complaint filed in Los Angeles.
The disgraced comedian, 86, allegedly "drugged and raped" accuser Donna Motsinger in 1972 while she was working as a server at The Trident, a popular restaurant in Sausalito, Calif.
Motsinger also filed the complaint against Cosby’s production company, Jemmin, Inc., as well as the Circle Star Theater, for "failing to ensure the safety of its guests at the hands of its performers," in documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
"Jemmin, Inc. is vicariously liable for Mr. Cosby’s sexual battery as Jemmin, Inc. authorized and ratified the sexual battery through Mr. Cosby himself," documents stated. In addition, Motsinger's suit said "Jemmin, Inc. is guilty of fraud, oppression, and malice for the sexual battery of Ms. Motsinger at the hands of Cosby."

Cosby's representatives did not have a comment to provide Fox News Digital.
Motsinger said Cosby, a regular at The Trident, "followed her" home one night and asked her to go to one of his shows at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, Calif. He picked her up in a limousine, and gave her a "glass of wine in the limo along the way," docs stated.
Cosby was allegedly filming his comedy stand-up act for "Inside the Mind of Bill Cosby," the complaint said.
She claimed that Cosby took her to the dressing room, where "she began to feel sick and Mr. Cosby gave her what she believed was an aspirin."
"Next thing she knew, she was going in and out of consciousness while two men attending to Mr. Cosby were putting her in the limousine with Mr. Cosby," the complaint stated. "In the limousine, Mr. Cosby sat near the window and put his arms around her. The last thing Ms. Motsinger recalls were flashes of light."

Motsinger also waged allegations against the Circle Star Theater, who "chose not to intervene" when she claimed to be unconscious.
"At the theater, Ms. Motsinger was so drugged and sedated that she was going in and out of consciousness by the time she left in Mr. Cosby’s limousine," documents stated. "Employees and agents of Circle Star Theater knew or should have known of the dangerous drugged and sedated state that Ms. Motsinger was in and should have rendered care and aid to Ms. Motsinger."

The state’s highest court threw out Cosby's conviction after finding that District Attorney Kevin Steele, the prosecutor who brought the case against Cosby, violated an agreement to not charge him that previous District Attorney Bruce Castor had made in 2005, though the deal had apparently never been put in writing.
