The woman who claims she was drugged and raped by Bill Cosby when she was 15 is filing a police report with the LAPD Friday afternoon TMZ has learned ... and that will trigger a formal investigation.
Judy Huth is -- at the time of this post -- on her way to the PD, along with her new lawyer, Gloria Allred.
Huth just sued Cosby, claiming he got her drunk and then took her to the Playboy Mansion where he sexually assaulted her. Cosby filed legal docs Thursday, claiming she's a liar who tried to sell the story to the tabloids a decade ago and then tried extorting the comedian in return for her silence.
Cosby also notes ... the alleged incident occurred 40 years ago ... well beyond the statute of limitations.
TMZ broke the story ... even if the statute of limitations has run, they will investigate if someone files a police report -- which she is now doing. The cops say they conduct these investigations because they don't know what twists and turns will occur ... possibly unearthing new alleged victims.
The LAPD is ready, willing and able to investigate sexual assault claims against Bill Cosby that allegedly occurred at the Playboy Mansion ... even though the incident is way past the statute of limitations.
As we previously reported ... a woman named Judy Huth sued Cosby Tuesday ... claiming Cosby got her drunk and then sexually assaulted her at Hefner's pad when she was 15 years old back in 1974.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the Dept.'s position is that it has "an obligation to investigate all crimes when a victim comes forward."
According to one source, it would be irresponsible to reject an investigation based on the date of the crime, because cops say there are always twists and turns and one allegation can unearth another.
Our sources say by making it known they are investigating, other alleged victims may come forward.
That said, we're told Huth has NOT filed a criminal complaint with the LAPD.
