A jury awarded $59 million in damages against Bill Cosby after finding him liable for sexually assaulting Donna Motsinger, a waitress, in 1972; the verdict included $19.25 million in compensatory damages and $40 million in punitive damages. Motsinger alleged that Cosby drugged and raped her after picking her up in a limousine, with the lawsuit made possible by California legislation that temporarily suspended the statute of limitations for certain sex assault claims.
