A woman who accused disgraced comedian and actor Bill Cosby of sexual assault won $59 million in damages in March, but now says he hasn’t paid her.

Donna Motsinger, who accused Mr. Cosby of the 1972 assault, says she has not seen “a single dollar” of the money she was awarded.

She’s asking a judge to hold Mr. Cosby, 89, in contempt of court for failing to pay.

Since the 1980s, over 60 women have accused Mr. Cosby of sexual assault, harassment and other related offenses. The accusations came under new scrutiny in 2014, when comedian Hannibal Buress made an offhand remark about it onstage.

In 2018, Mr. Cosby was found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault and went to a Pennsylvania prison. In 2021, his charges were overturned, and he was released.
