Bill Cosby Facing California Sexual Assault Trial

Now Cosby is gearing up for another rape trial in California...

From NBC Bay Area
A California court has tentatively set a July 30, 2018, date for trial of a lawsuit that accuses Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting a teenage girl at the Playboy Mansion more than 40 years ago.
Judy Huth accused the comedian of forcing her to perform a sex act on him in a bedroom at the mansion around 1974 when she was 15.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents Huth, said the judge in Los Angeles Superior Court judge may delay setting a trial date to let Pennsylvania prosecutors pursue the retrial against Cosby first.
A second deposition by Cosby was put on hold pending the criminal case. His first deposition in the Huth case is sealed.
