TMZ reports that the Los Angeles Police Department is now formally investigating allegations that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1974, when she was 15-years old.
Huth and her attorney, Gloria Allred, held a news conference Friday, December 5, in front of an LAPD station.
"We don't turn people away because things are out of statute. You come to us, especially with a sexual allegation, we will work with you," Chief Charlie Beck said Thursday. "We address these things seriously, and it's not just because it's Mr. Cosby."
"Judy Huth and I came here to the Los Angeles Police Department to meet with detectives of the Los Angeles Police Department, to request an investigation of Mr. Cosby." Allred said Friday. "She's here because she believes it's important Bill Cosby be investigated."
As we previously reported, Huth recently came forward with claims that Cosby got her and a friend drunk while playing pool. He then took them to the Playboy Mansion and instructed them to tell anyone that they were 19 if asked.
Huth alleges that the comedian to her to a room and sexually assaulted her.
Although the statute of limitations is up, the LAPD says they will investigate because other victims and crimes may turn up.
Cosby has fired back by filing legal documents claiming Huth tried to extort him. The docs say Huth's lawyer demanded $100K for silence, and later increased the demand to $250K as more women came forward. Cosby also alleges that Huth tried to sell her story to the tabloids a decade ago, but none were interested, according to TMZ.
