A Southern California civil jury found Bill Cosby liable for sexual assault against Donna Motsinger dating back to 1972, awarding her over $19 million in damages. The verdict follows Motsinger’s 2023 lawsuit alleging Cosby drugged and raped her after a comedy show, claims Cosby’s defense disputed, and comes amid numerous other allegations against him. This civil case is separate from Cosby’s overturned 2018 criminal conviction, marking a significant development in ongoing legal battles over decades-old sexual abuse accusations.
