Bill Cosby used friendly spaces – a film set at a public park, a game room – to give 16-year-old Judy Huth a sense of safety before sexually abusing her, Huth's lawyer said Wednesday (June 1) in opening statements at a civil trial.

Nearly a year after being freed from prison, Cosby is facing yet another sexual assault allegation in a court case kicking off in California Wednesday.
