Bill Cosby faces sex abuse allegations as civil trial opens

Bill Cosby will again be facing sex abuse allegations Wednesday as attorneys give opening statements in a civil trial that’s one of the last remaining legal claims against the comedian.

Cosby’s attorneys, who say no sexual abuse happened, are likely to emphasize that the burden of proving the nearly 50-year-old case lies entirely with the plaintiffs. They have acknowledged that Cosby took Huth to the Playboy Mansion, as a photo from the visit shows, but say they believe she was not a minor when it happened.

Cosby will not testify after the judge ruled that he could assert his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. And he has no plans to leave his Pennsylvania home to attend the trial, which is taking place at a small courthouse in Santa Monica. Cosby’s representatives say glaucoma has left him blind and made travel too difficult.

I believe the survivor.. This man’s behaviour is not a “one of”.. That he has been released is disconcerting for any Victims of his Sexual Abuse 🥲 Offenders of his age rarely are successful during Sex Offender Treatment Programs or did he even attend 🤔 Just askin

Leave him the fnck alone ………. Please.

Just a DIRTY OLD MAN !

Yet noth'n for all of the elites on the Epstein flights to Pedo Island? Small amounts of hush money though...

Like was he though or is someone trying to shut him up

That damn puddin' pop got him in a heap of trouble.

New handgun restrictions expected in federal firearm-control bill todayNew measures to curb handguns are expected to be a central feature of federal legislation tabled this afternoon, the Liberal government's latest - and likely boldest - suite of proposed actions to control access to firearms in Canada. They are picking at 'easy fruit', because going after REAL criminals would be 'racist', 'Islamophobic' and a socioeconomic attack against their.... supporters. Targeting a specific type of gun won't keep criminals away from using them in crimes. Criminals don't care about laws or bills in the first place. Just look at a good example of how it doesn't work here in Canada. Why did they wait so long. Didn't they promise this close to a DECADE ago?
