Latest Bill Cosby accuser says he assaulted her at fifteen years old.

A 55-year-old woman sued comedian Bill Cosby on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming sexual battery and infliction of emotional distress for allegedly molesting her in a bedroom at the Playboy Mansion when she was 15 years old.

According to the complaint, Judy Huth and a friend, who was 16 at the time, met Cosby at an outdoor film set at Lacy Park in Los Angeles County in 1974 and accepted an invitation to socialize with him at a tennis club the following week. When they got together, the lawsuit alleges, they played billiards and Cosby served them alcoholic beverages.

"Under the terms of Cosby's game, plaintiff was required to consume a beer every time Cosby won a game," the suit alleges. After the two girls consumed "multiple alcoholic beverages," Cosby allegedly told them he had a surprise for them "and led them to another house which turned out to be the Playboy Mansion."

He told the girls they should say they were 19 if they were asked, according to the lawsuit.

While at the mansion, Huth said she needed to use the bathroom. Cosby, who was 37 at the time, allegedly showed her to a bathroom inside a bedroom suite near the mansion's game room.

"When Plaintiff emerged from the bathroom, she found COSBY sitting on the bed," the suit states. "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."

It is hard at this point to give Cosby the benefit of any doubt, but we all know that sometimes people smell opportunity and pile on with fake lawsuits when they see the chance of an easy payoff from a famous person under media scrutiny for bad behaviors.

I am certainly not suggesting that this woman falls into that category, I am simply suggesting that from this point forward all new allegations should be scrutinized aggressively.

However it should also be noted that these allegation match those made by well over a dozen women already, and that many of Cosby's accusers were also teenagers at the time of the alleged attack.

At this point I am not even sure it matters how many more women come out of the shadows to point the finger at the former Cliff Huxtable. His reputation is already sullied beyond repair and his legacy is now one of sexual predator instead of perennial father figure.
