SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Civil trial jurors have found that Bill Cosby sexually abused a 16-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975. The Los Angeles County jury delivered the verdict Tuesday in favor of Judy Huth, who is now 64, and awarded her $500,000. The jury’s decision is a major legal defeat for the 84-year-old Cosby. It comes nearly a year after his Pennsylvania criminal conviction for sexual assault was thrown out and he was freed from prison. Cosby did not attend the Los Angeles trial. He has repeatedly denied Huth’s allegations that he forced her to perform a sex act at the mansion.

At a special ceremony Tuesday afternoon at the Beaver Falls city building, Beaver Falls Car Cruise Chairman Tom Gargaro–along with several members of the Beaver Falls Police Department–joined in thanking Eddy Crow and his mother, Sue Crow, for their charitable donations to the Car Cruise and the City of Beaver Falls.

“On behalf of the cruise,” Gargaro stated, “we wanted to thank you and your gracious mother for making such a beautiful quilt…and you for offering it up for the raffle.”

The elder Crow made a quilt that was donated as a raffle prize during the June 11 festivities in Beaver Falls, and in addition the daily host of Teleforum on Beaver County Radio presented the Beaver Falls Police Department with a check of two hundred and twenty five dollars to assist the K-9 Division.

“It means a lot because I have personal connections with law enforcement,” Crow said at the ceremony. “[I have] personal connections with K-9 law enforcement, I got cousins that are still doing it, and it’s something that needs to be done.”

Quilting has become a regular hobby of Eddy’s mom, and she decided to help out the Car Cruise Committee in benefiting the city of Beaver Falls. “Like my mom said,” Crow added, “it’s me sitting here, something good comes out of it…why would you not do something good with it?”

Eddy Crow is the host of Teleforum weekdays from 9:00 AM until Noon on Beaver County Radio.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — State House Republicans are blocking a proposal to prevent those ages 18 to 21 from possessing assault-style rifles. They voted in a legislative committee on Tuesday to completely change the bill into a constitutional amendment to allow anyone to carry concealed guns. It’s the second week in a row that Republicans in the Judiciary Committee have used their majority to defeat Democratic proposals to address the country’s gun violence plague. The bill would have prevented those under age 21 from purchasing, possessing or transporting the types of weapons that have often been used to kill and wound people in mass shootings.
