Los Angeles police investigating Cosby abuse claim

Source: AP-Excite

By ANTHONY McCARTNEY

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police opened an investigation on Friday into a woman's claims that Bill Cosby molested her when she was 15 years old, a department spokeswoman said.

The investigation was opened after Judy Huth, who is suing Cosby for sexual battery, met with Los Angeles police detectives for 90 minutes.

Los Angeles Police Officer Jane Kim said the department opened its investigation after the meeting.

Huth's civil suit claims Cosby forced her to perform a sex act on him in a bedroom of the Playboy Mansion around 1974 when she was underage.

you want to make a bet that the lawyer tries to file suit to prevent any investigation (and this parts a guess) because its being done merely as a fishing expedition for a civil case and thus law enforcement shouldnt be involved?

A whole bunch of women will now make up stories only because the guy has money. perhaps two or three of those stories are true but the suing and lawyers after all these years will make all of them lose credibility except in extreme feminist circles.

I am already starting to disbelieve -- it would take a conspiracy of mammoth proportions to keep all of this quiet all this time.

You really don't understand why rape victims don't come forward, do you?

Especially in the past.
