Bill Cosby Found Liable for 1972 Sexual Assault; Jury Awards $19M in Damages
In a significant ruling, a California jury determined that Bill Cosby is responsible for drugging and sexually assaulting Donna Motsinger in 1972. The jury awarded Motsinger $19.25 million in damages following a trial in Santa Monica. The case lasted nearly two weeks, with jurors reaching a verdict in under a day. The award includes $17.5 million for past harm and $1.75 million for future emotional distress. Cosbys legal team plans to appeal, while the punitive damages phase is set to begin soon, potentially increasing the total award. This ruling follows patterns seen in other civil suits against Cosby, including a $500,000 payout last year.
