Plaintiff Judy Huth lives in the gated community of Canyon Lake and sued Cosby, now 84, in December 2014. Huth originally said she was 15 years old at the time and that the alleged attack occurred in 1974, when Cosby allegedly invited her and a 16-year-old friend into a house where he convinced her to drink a beer for every game of pool he won. Huth alleges Cosby later took her and her friend to the Playboy Mansion, where he molested her in a bedroom.
Opening statements are scheduled for June 1 and the trial is expected to last about two weeks. Huth's case is the first civil suit against Cosby to reach trial after many others ended in settlements.
