Bill Cosby Faces Lawsuit over New Molestation Allegation 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
Comedian Bill Cosby is facing his first lawsuit resulting from the new
wave of allegations over the drugging, rape and sexual assault of more
than 20 women. Plaintiff Judy Huth is suing Cosby for allegedly
molesting her 40 years ago, when she was 15 years old. The suit claims
Cosby forced Huth to perform a sex act on him without her consent. Her
complaint says the incident has caused "psychological damage and mental
anguish" in the decades since. It comes one day after Cosby resigned
from the board of trustees of Temple University amid mounting claims
from women who have come forward to accuse him of being a sexual
predator.
