(CNN)A Los Angeles jury found embattled comedian Bill Cosby liable in a civil case brought by Judy Huth, a woman who claimed he sexually assaulted her as a teenager in the 1970s.

The jury, comprised of eight women and four men, found that Cosby, 84, is liable for damages and awarded Huth $500,000 in damages. No punitive compensation was awarded.

Huth alleged that though Cosby knew her age and that of her friend, he directed the teens "that if any of the Playboy bunnies asked their age, they should say they were 19."
Huth further claimed that Cosby took her to a bedroom in the mansion where he sexually molested her.

2. Yup.

3. Good. At least those women can find some recompense but $500,000 is nothing for what happened to

them. I recently watch the Secrets of Playboy documentary series on A&E. Cosby was part of it and the stories of his exploits were pretty horrifying. A lot of people knew and did absolutely nothing. He and Hefner were birds of a feather. They took women and ground them into dust.

4. It's better than nothing, but he still belongs behind bars. NT

5. It's statutory rape unless PA has a ridiculous age of consent.

Disgusting man.
