"Motsinger described the trial as a five-decade-long effort to get justice, highlighting the long struggle many victims face in seeking accountability for sexual assault."
"Cosby has largely disappeared from public view amid widespread allegations of sexual misconduct, with numerous women accusing him of drugging and assaulting them over the years."
"The higher court found that prosecutors had violated Cosby's rights by promising not to charge him and then later pursuing a case against him, leading to his release in 2021."
A California jury awarded Donna Motsinger $59.25 million in damages after finding Bill Cosby liable for sexual assault. Motsinger alleged that Cosby drugged and raped her in 1972 while she was a restaurant server. The case was filed after California changed its statutes of limitations for sexual assault claims. Cosby, who has faced numerous allegations and civil trials, spent three years in prison for a previous conviction before being released in 2021. He plans to appeal the recent verdict.
