Bill Cosby is going back on trial for alleged sexual assault, nearly a year after he was released from prison on an overturned criminal conviction in a different case.
The disgraced comedian and actor is set to face a civil trial next month after California resident Judy Huth accused him of sexually assaulting her at the Playboy Mansion while she was a teenager in the mid-1970s.
The allegations first came to light in 2014 — years before the #MeToo movement— and are now seeing their day in court after setbacks related to the statute of limitations for reporting abuse and a shift in Huth’s recollection of when the alleged incident occurred.
