Bill Cosby lost his latest bid to fend off a lawsuit, accusing him of sexually abusing a 15-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles in 1974.
This came as the California Supreme Court on Wednesday denied the comedian’s petition to review the case.
The accuser’s attorney, Gloria Allred, said the decision cleared the way for litigation brought by Judy Huth, now in her 50s, to proceed.
The attorney added that she intended to take Cosby’s sworn deposition within the next 30 days.
“We are looking forward to Mr. Cosby answering questions under oath at his deposition,” Allred said.
“It’s a very big victory.”
There was no immediate response from Cosby or his lawyers, who have consistently denied allegations of sexual misconduct lodged against the 78-year-old performer.
