The deposition has been approved by Craig D. Karlan, the Superior Court Judge in the L.A. County.
Goins was interviewed by Los Angeles police detectives in January and officials said they are continuing to look into the claims, so detectives haven’t presented a case to prosecutors yet.
Her complaint, brought in December 2014, charged that Cosby sexually abused her by putting his hand down her trousers and then “taking her hand in his hand and performing a sex act on himself without her consent”.
Mr. Cosby has also been ordered to provide a sworn statement in response to Judy’s complaint. The depositions pushed through when California Supreme Court denied Cosby’s petition of reviewing the case in efforts to fend off Judy’s lawsuit.In the past year, more than 40 women have come forward to tell the whole world that they, too, were molested, raped or sexually assaulted by the comedian after giving them drugs or alcohol.
Allred is representing Huth in this case against Cosby.
Earlier this month, excerpts from a 2005 deposition given by Cosby were publicly released in which he admitted to obtaining quaaludes to give to women that he wanted to have sex with. Most of the accusations date back to the 60s and 70s. Cosby’s lawyers have called Huth’s lawsuit an extortion attempt and say she tried to sell the allegations to a tabloid years ago. She was lured by the alleged assaulter to the Playboy mansion where he got her drunk and misbehaved with her. She added that she has suffered a lot and is psychologically hurt for which she needs an answer from the man responsible.

The court order said Cosby must answer questions from Huth’s lawyers on October 9. The statement has been made based on recent incidents where a number of women have been accusing Cosby of the same crime repeatedly.
