Bill Cosby Loses Appeal In Playboy Mansion Rape Case

In more bad news for creepy comic Bill Cosby, a Los Angeles court has ruled against his attorneys and in favor of his alleged sexual assault victim Judy Huth. She was only 15 years old when Cosby reportedly molested her at the Playboy Mansion in 1974. In California, however, the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse begins to run from the date that a victim “discovers” her injury.

Judy is suing Cosby for damages related to her alleged sexual assault at Hugh Hefner's estate (pictured), based on "delayed discovery" of the aftereffects of the traumatic event. The lawsuit says: "This traumatic incident, at such a tender age, has caused psychological damage and mental anguish for the plaintiff that has caused her significant problems throughout her life."

A desperate Cosby tried a shocking new tactic in dismissing the lawsuit — as his lawyers said the alleged victim missed her chance to file charges! Cosby's attorney's wanted Judge Judge Craig Karlan to rule that Judy waited too long between realizing the damage caused by the "traumatic incident" and filing the lawsuit.

Judy is represented by the notorious pitbull lawyer Gloria Allred (pictured), who made this announcement earlier today: "Mr. Cosby made yet another attempt to have Judy Huth’s case thrown out, this time arguing that the statute of limitations barred her claims. We argued that Ms. Huth’s case should not be dismissed because her complaint and its accompanying filings all complied with the statute of limitations for allegations of child sexual abuse. The court agreed with us on this critical issue."

Cosby has already fought to have the California case held up until his current criminal case in Philadelphia is resolved. In more bad news for the creepy comic, a Pennsylvania appeals court ruled against Cosby's lawyers yesterday, and said that Cosby could still be prosecuted on charges of raping Andrea Constand — despite the comic's claim that a former District Attorney told him he was immune after settling the victim's lawsuit!

Thanks to the statute of limitations, the creepy comic has been able to avoid criminal charges from nearly all of the women who've said that he drugged and raped them during the course of his long career. His career and reputation, however, remains in tatters.
