Bill Cosby Found Liable for 1972 Sexual Assault; Jury Awards $19.25M in Damages
In a landmark ruling, a California civil jury found Bill Cosby liable for drugging and sexually assaulting Donna Motsinger in 1972, awarding her $19.25 million in damages. The jury deliberated for just over a day, focusing on claims from when Motsinger was a server and Cosby invited her to a comedy show. Cosbys lawyers plan to appeal, while a phase for punitive damages begins today. This verdict comes nearly five years after Cosby was freed from prison in a similar criminal case and follows testimony from Andrea Constand, whose case drew national attention during the early days of the Me Too movement.
