LOS ANGELES (BBC): Police have opened an investigation into a woman’s claims that Bill Cosby molested her when she was 15 years old. Judy Huth, one of several women to have recently made allegations against the actor, met with detectives on Friday. She filed a civil lawsuit against him earlier in the week. Mr Cosby is counter-suing the 55-year-old, saying she attempted to extort money from him, and has described her claims as “absolutely false”. Meanwhile, work crews have had to clean Mr Cosby’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after it was vandalised.
A Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman confirmed an investigation had begun after Ms Huth saw detectives for 90 minutes. LAPD chief Charlie Beck had said people making allegations of sexual abuse against Mr Cosby should speak with his officers, even if their claims were outside the statute of limitations for prosecutions.
