Charges will not be filed
against comedian Bill Cosby over allegations that he sexually assaulted
a teenage girl in 1974, US prosecutors say.
They cited the statute of limitations which restricts the
length of time in which legal action can be taken after an alleged crime
has been committed.
Judy Huth alleges that Mr Cosby molested her when she was 15 years old.
READ MORE AFTER THE CUT.............................................
She is one of at least 15 women who since early November have alleged that Mr Cosby sexually assaulted them.
The comedian's lawyers have denied most of the allegations while dismissing others as either being discredited or decades old.
Most of the women concerned say that the comedian drugged them before assaulting them.
Ms Huth claimed that she was forced by Mr Cosby to perform a sex act on him at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.
Mr Cosby's lawyer has accused her of trying to extort $250,000 from the
star before she decided to sue - he also accused her of trying to sell
her story to a tabloid a decade ago.
