Bill Cosby will plead the Fifth in a civil lawsuit alleging he assaulted a girl, 15, in 1974

Daily Mail  

Bill Cosby will plead the Fifth Amendment in a civil lawsuit alleging he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1974, according to his lawyer. Huth alleges Cosby plied her and a friend with pills and alcohol at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion in California when she was 15, before sexually assaulting her Cosby's attorney Michael Freedman said in a status conference report made public Wednesday, and seen by the Hollywood Reporter, that Cosby will not risk putting himself in that position again when it comes to Huth's civil case. Huth sued Cosby in civil court in 2014 but the case was put on hold in 2016 amid the criminal case against the comedian The Playboy Mansion in California where the alleged sexual assault took place in 1974 'Indeed, prior to a stay being entered in this case, LAPD claimed that the Huth matter is an open criminal investigation,' he said. Cosby's attorney told a Los Angeles Superior Court judge Wednesday that he will invoke his right to remain silent amid fears he could be prosecuted again 'Because the criminal case was pending, the taking of the second deposition was stayed,' Allred told USA Today.
