Bill Cosby, a famous comedian who was called the "national father" in the United States, lost again, paying a large sum of money to victims of sexual assault.

According to the New York Times (NYT), a jury in Los Angeles County, California, ruled on the 23rd (local time) that Cosby was responsible for sexually assaulting restaurant employee Donna Motsinger in 1972 and ordered him to pay $1.95 million (about 28.7 billion won).

Motsinger testified that about 50 years ago Cosby became unconscious after inviting him to a stand-up comedy performance and handing him wine and pills. "It took 54 years to find justice," he said, adding, "I hope it will help other victims a little."

Cosby immediately denied the allegations and expressed its intention to appeal.

This is not the first time Cosby has asked for a large amount of compensation in a sexual assault case. In 2022, he also compensated $500,000 for sexually harassing a teenage girl Judy Huss.

After gaining huge popularity with the sitcom "The Cosby Family," allegations have been raised that he committed sex crimes against more than 50 women over 50 years during the Me Too movement in 2014 to accuse sexual violence. He was sentenced to prison in 2018 for drugging and sexually assaulting a sports instructor in 2004, but was released after three years on procedural grounds.
