Bill Cosby rape accuser Donna Motsinger awarded $19 million in civil trial

Bill Cosby has been ordered to pay his rape accuser Donna Motsinger more than $19 million in damages after a jury found he had drugged and sexually assaulted her more than 50 years ago.

A California jury announced the $19.25 million judgment on Monday during its third day of deliberations, per the New York Times.

Motsinger first filed her civil lawsuit against the “Cosby Show” alum in Los Angeles Superior Court in September 2023.

She alleged that Cosby, now 88, sexually assaulted her after giving her wine and a pill that left her unconscious following one of his comedy shows in 1972.

“She woke up in her house with all her clothes off, except her underwear on — no top, no bra, and no pants,” Motsinger’s lawyers alleged in court papers. “She knew she had been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby.”

Cosby didn’t testify during the nearly two-week trial, and his lawyer Jennifer Bonjean insisted that the embattled comedian would appeal the jury’s decision.

“I was obviously disappointed in the decision, but we believe we have a strong appeal and we’ll pursue that,” she said after the judgment was announced.

AI says his net worth is between 50 and $400 million. I’m surprised he still has that much money left.

How can any man defend himself against something that happened more than 50 years ago?

How did he get into her house? Did she go to the police at the time?

He can’t. Who remembers where they were 50 years ago? Twenty years ago?

Bill Cosby did a routine mentioning “Spanish Fly” in the 1960’s about drugging women. It is on a record called It’s True! It’s True!

Exactly.

There should be a statue of limitations.

She should have sued then. She should have pressed charges then.

This is same thing with Caesar Chavez.

You’re not going to remember whether or not you watched a movie or went to a show, but you are definitely going to remember whether you drugged a woman and raped her afterwards!

It boggles the mind how anyone could be such a lovable character and such a horrible character at the same time!

Yeah,
the same with many, many other cases.
All kind of people have been accused of sexual misconduct decades later.
Clergy, Trump, ...

Agreed. Drugging and raping would be on my conscience for a hundred years

Probably the most expensive you-kow-what he will ever have.

He could have bought a couple dozen asian whorehouses for that money and had enough money left over to give all the employees a bonus.

I always like to post this link whenever this comes up. While extremely profane, it provides information that I haven’t seen anywhere else.The reason his conviction was reversed is that he was blatantly railroaded, which is easily shown by the facts in this video. This trial is certainly more of the same.

If the allegations are true, Cosby’s choices provided the means to destroy him. However, he isn’t being destroyed because he may or may not have “raped” a woman who can’t remember being raped but just knows that she was.

No, Cosby is being destroyed because he told the truth about blacks to blacks. The socialists weren’t happy he pulled the curtain back on their modern plantation operation.
