Bill Cosby, America’s not-so -favorite dad, who has been accused of sexually violating at least three dozen woman, will be deposed on October 9, Gloria Allred, attorney for Judy Huth, one of Cosby’s accusers said late Wednesday.
Cosby fought the deposition arguing that his lawyers should depose Huth first before he is questioned under oath. But a judge disagreed.
Huth will be deposed on October 15, 2015.
See the full press release issued by attorney Gloria Allred below:
Today, we received a copy of the Court’s order in our case of Judy Huth v. William Henry Cosby, Jr.
Last week, we filed an ex parte application and we went to court on July 28, 2015 to argue that Mr. Cosby should be required to submit to having his deposition taken by us before Mr. Cosby’s lawyers could take the deposition of our client Ms. Huth.
Mr. Cosby opposed our application and his lawyers argued instead that they should be permitted to take our client’s deposition before we could take Mr. Cosby’s testimony under oath.
In court, the honorable Judge Craig D. Karlan ordered that the parties meet and confer and agree on dates for each client’s deposition and then submit those dates to the court. The judge stated that he would then decide the order of the depositions and the dates on which they should take place.
Today we received a copy of the court’s order. The court granted our application requiring Mr. Cosby to submit to his deposition before the deposition of our client, Judy Huth.
Mr. Cosby’s deposition will take place on October 9, 2015 and our client’s deposition will take place on October 15, 2015.
We are pleased that we will now be able to move ahead without further delay on Ms. Huth’s case and we look forward to taking Mr. Cosby’s deposition on October 9. 2015.
