The jury, comprised of eight women and four men, found that Cosby, 84, is liable for damages and awarded Huth $500,000 in damages. No punitive compensation was awarded.
Huth first filed the case in 2014, claiming sexual battery and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The original filing claimed that the incident happened in 1974 when Huth was 15 years old, but the timeline was later revised to 1975 when Huth was 16.
Cosby’s attorneys have denied the claim and attempted to get the case dismissed.
In the complaint, Huth told of meeting Cosby at a park where he was filming a movie. After befriending the girls, Cosby allegedly invited them to join him at his tennis club. From there, Huth alleged the comedian invited them to a house where he served the young women multiple alcoholic drinks, and then took them to the Playboy Mansion.
Huth alleged that though Cosby knew her age and that of her friend, he directed the teens “that if any of the Playboy bunnies asked their age, they should say they were 19.”
Huth further claimed that Cosby took her to a bedroom in the mansion where he sexually molested her.
Through his lawyers, Cosby has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.
CNN has reached out to Cosby’s attorneys for comment on the verdict.
This is the first civil case by any Cosby accuser to make it to trial.
