An attorney for a woman suing Bill Cosby said during his opening statement that Cosby used friendly spaces like a public park and a game room to give her a sense of safety before sexually abusing her.

, where he led her and a 17-year-old friend to a room off the main house full of pinball machines and other games that they played.

The trial in its first day at a Los Angeles County courthouse stems from a 2014 lawsuit filed by Huth, now 64. It's one of the last legal claims against 11 months ago and many other lawsuits were settled by his insurer. The two whispered with excitement when they saw Cosby, and the comedian mocked their whispers when he saw them.Cosby invited the girls to meet him a few days later at a tennis club, where he had them play a game of pool where the loser had to drink a beer. Goldberg said Huth had to drink at least one beer, but can't remember how many.

Samuelson was oblivious and playing games when the abuse in the bedroom took place, but Huth told her about it as soon as Cosby left them alone, and she will tell the same story she heard then on the stand this week, Goldberg said.“She was no longer the happy-go-lucky girl she had been,” Goldberg said.

Two women will testify to similar experiences with Cosby when they were teenagers within a year of Huth's meeting him.He emphasized that after 47 years, Samuelson and Huth's stories are bound to differ in the details.
