Lawyers for Bill Cosby are reportedly demanding a retrial in a civil sex abuse lawsuit at the Playboy mansion that has awarded the alleged victim $500,000 in damages

Apparently Bill CosbyLawyers for are asking for a retrial to defend themselves against a recent lawsuit alleging that the comedian was responsible for the sexual abuse of a woman named Judy Huth and awarding the alleged victim $500,000 in damages.
The alleged incident reportedly happened at the Playboy Mansion in the 1970s when Huth was a teenager. According to court documents obtained by Los Angeles Magazine on July 27, Cosby’s attorneys asked Judge Craig Karlan to overturn the July 12 verdict in Huth’s favour.

During Huth’s testimony at the civil trial, which took place back in June, she claimed the “The Cosby Show” star inappropriately touched her and forced the then 16-year-old to perform a sexual act on him in 1975.
While telling her story, Huth also mentioned that the alleged attack took place in a playroom at Playboy’s Mansion. According to Huth, her attorneys mentioned that the only reason she was at the residence was because of Cosby. Huth and her then-17-year-old friend Donna Samuelson were brought to the residence after meeting Cosby on the set of his film Let’s Do It Again, according to their attorneys.
Although the jury returned a verdict on June 21, Cosby’s attorney denied any wrongdoing, alleging inconsistencies in Huth’s accounts of what happened. The inconsistencies included the turn of the year in which the alleged event actually took place.
Los Angeles Magazine also reports that Cosby’s attorneys are seeking a retrial for “irregularities in the proceedings of the court, jury, or opposing party, juror misconduct, excessive damages, insufficient evidence to support the verdict, and errors of law.”
In addition to the retrial, the new outlet said Cosby’s attorneys plan to file an alternative motion for “judgment notwithstanding the verdict.”
The deadline for the reinstatement application and an alternative application is set for September 13th.
