SAN FRANCISCO — In what may be a sign of the legal difficulties surrounding comedian Bill Cosby, he has brought in a former prosecutor and partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan to take over his defense in one of several civil sexual assault cases he faces. Partner Christopher Tayback is taking over for “attack dog to the stars” Martin Singer of L.A.’s Lavely & Singer.
Tayback will defend Cosby, 78, against civil charges relating to an allegation that he sexually molested then-15-year-old Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1974. More than 50 women have accused the actor of molestation or abuse, and at least six suits are pending in connection with these allegations.
