A civil jury in Santa Monica, California found Bill Cosby liable for drugging and sexually assaulting Donna Motsinger in 1972. The jury awarded Motsinger $19.25 million in compensatory damages for mental suffering and emotional distress, followed by an additional $40 million in punitive damages, bringing the total judgment to $59.25 million.
