Bill Cosby Found Liable for Sexual Assault, Ordered to Pay Millions
In a significant civil trial, Bill Cosby has been found liable for the sexual assault of several women, with juries awarding damages that collectively amount to nearly $60 million. Notably, Donna Motsinger, who accused Cosby of drugging and raping her in 1972, was awarded $59.25 million. In another case, a jury ordered Cosby to pay $19 million to a former waitress who claimed she was assaulted by him in the same year. The judgments reflect ongoing legal repercussions for Cosby, whose actions decades ago continue to have serious financial and reputational consequences.
