Huth alleges that she met Cosby at a movie shoot and he invited her and a friend for drinks at a tennis club a week later. Huthโ€™s lawsuit states that the comedian took them to the Playboy Mansion, where the suit alleges the molestation occurred, and that Cosby insisted that they tell everyone they were 19.

โ€œThis traumatic incident, at such a tender age, has caused psychological damage and mental anguish for the plaintiff that has caused her significant problems throughout her life,โ€ the complaint said, according toย Reuters.

Huthโ€™s lawsuit comes on the heels ofย Cosbyโ€™s resignation from Temple Universityโ€™s board of trusteesย on Monday.

โ€œI have always been proud of my association with Temple University,โ€ Cosby said in a statement on Monday. โ€œI have always wanted to do what would be in the best interests of the university and its students.โ€

Cosbyโ€™s lawyer Martin Singer has not commented on the lawsuit or allegations. At last count, 20 women have accused Cosby of sexual assault.ย
