U.S. comedian Bill Cosby, who has been the subject of more than 20 sex abuse allegations over the past two months, will not be charged in connection with a 1974 molestation claim, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said Tuesday.
Prosecutors concluded allegations that “The Cosby Show” star sexually molested a 15-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion were too old and surpassed the state’s statute of limitations for either a felony or misdemeanor charge.
The accuser, Judy Huth, now 56, has also sued Cosby in Los Angeles, alleging that Cosby made her drink beer before molesting her in a bedroom at the Los Angeles mansion.
Cosby, 77, has yet to be charged. Cosby’s attorney, Marty Singer, has called allegations against the trailblazing African-American comedian “discredited” and “defamatory.” (SD-Agencies)
