"The jury awarded Motsinger $19.25 million in damages, a judgment that comes as Cosby, by his own account, has run into financial difficulties."
"Motsinger, speaking at the Santa Monica courthouse, welcomed the jury's decision. 'It has been 54 years to get justice, and I know it's not complete for the rest of the women, but I hope it helps them a little bit,' she said."
"She said she realized that, while it was not a criminal trial with a guilty verdict, it was important to her 'that I'm believed and he in some way has to be accountable for what he did to me.'"
A California jury determined that Bill Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted Donna Motsinger in 1972, awarding her $19.25 million in damages. This verdict further damages Cosby's reputation, which has suffered due to numerous allegations of sexual misconduct. Motsinger described the assault, stating Cosby incapacitated her with wine and a pill. Although Cosby did not testify, the jury favored Motsinger's account. His lawyer announced plans to appeal the decision. Motsinger expressed hope that the verdict would provide some justice for other victims as well.
