Woman Claims Cosby Molested Her at 15

LOS ANGELES (CN) - A woman has added to multiple sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby by claiming in court that he molested her at the Playboy Mansion four decades ago.

Inland Empire resident Judy Huth claimed Tuesday in her lawsuit in Superior Court that she was 15 years old when she and a 16-year-old friend, who is not identified, entered Lacy Park, San Marino during a film shoot in 1974.

Huth claims in the 5-page lawsuit that Cosby let her sit in the director's chair, then invited her and her friend to a tennis club on the weekend.

Huth says that when she arrived at the tennis club, Cosby invited the two girls to his house, where they played a billiards drinking game with alcoholic beverages. Then he invited them to another residence that turned out to be the Playboy Mansion, according to the lawsuit.

Though Cosby knew that Huth was 15, he told her to tell the Playboy Bunnies that she was 19, according to the lawsuit.

"While at the Playboy Mansion, plaintiff told Cosby that she needed to use the bathroom," according to the complaint. "Cosby directed her to a bathroom within a bedroom suite near the game room. When plaintiff emerged from the bathroom, she found Cosby sitting on the bed. He asked her to sit beside him. He then proceeded to sexually molest her by attempting to put his hand down her pants, and then taking her hand in his hand and performing a sex act on himself without her consent."

Huth seeks compensatory and punitive damages for sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

She is represented by Marc Strecker, of Irvine.
