PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bill Cosby admitted in 2005 that he got quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with, and that he gave the sedative to at least one woman and "other people," according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
That woman and a second woman testified in the same case that they knowingly took quaaludes from him, according to the unsealed documents.
The AP had gone to court to compel the release of the documents from the deposition in a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand — the first of a cascade of sexual abuse lawsuits against him. Cosby's lawyers had objected on the grounds that it would embarrass their client.
Cosby settled that lawsuit under confidential terms in 2006. His lawyers in the Philadelphia case did not immediately return phone calls Monday. Constand consented to be identified but did not want to comment, her lawyer said Monday.
Cosby, 77, has been accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct, including allegations by many that he drugged and ? them in incidents dating back more than four decades. Cosby has never been criminally charged, and most of the accusations are barred by statutes of limitations.
Cosby, giving sworn testimony in the lawsuit accusing him of sexual assaulting Constand at his home in Pennsylvania in 2005, said he got seven quaalude prescriptions in the 1970s. The lawyer for Constand asked if he had kept the sedatives through the 1990s — after they were banned — but was frustrated by objections from Cosby's lawyer.
"When you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" lawyer Dolores M. Troiani asked.
"Yes," Cosby answered on Sept. 29, 2005.
"Did you ever give any of these young women the quaaludes without their knowledge?"
Cosby's lawyer again objected, leading Troiani to petition the federal judge to force Cosby to cooperate.
Cosby later said he gave Constand three half-pills of Benadryl, although Troiani in the documents voices doubt that was the drug involved. The two other women who testified on Constand's behalf said they had knowingly been given quaaludes.
Three of the women accusing Cosby of sexually assaulting them have a defamation lawsuit pending against him in Massachusetts. They allege that he defamed them when his agents said their accusations were untrue. Cosby is trying to get their case thrown out before discovery.
Cosby had fought the AP's efforts to unseal the testimony, with his lawyer arguing the deposition could reveal details of Cosby's marriage, sex life and prescription drug use.
"It would be terribly embarrassing for this material to come out," lawyer George M. Gowen III argued in June. He said the public should not have access to what Cosby was forced to say as he answered questions under oath from the accuser's lawyer nearly a decade ago.
"Frankly ... it would embarrass him, (and) it would also prejudice him in eyes of the jury pool in Massachusetts," Gowen said.
U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno asked last month why Cosby was fighting the release of his sworn testimony, given that the accusations in the Temple woman's lawsuit were already in the public eye.
"Why would he be embarrassed by his own version of the facts?" Robreno said.
Cosby resigned in December from the board of trustees at Temple, where he was the popular face of the Philadelphia school in advertisements, fundraising campaigns and commencement speeches.

I gotta see this for myself.

Even if it's admitted that's very weak evidence. Women willingly taking drugs and then sleeping with you is no more ? than a woman letting you buy her a drink before you ? her raw in the Applebee's bathroom.

Look I'm not trying to say he did it or didn't but it's kinda odd that this ? is all coming out right now. Once again, eff Hannibal Burress btw

"Another quaalude, she'll love me in the morning. "
Bill Cosby -
I think Bill Cosby spiked women's drinks and assaulted them. I truly do. I've gotten mya ss beat all up and down the IC for saying as such.
But that Variety Mag report doesn't prove ? . I'm going to need an exact quote.
Because by law, any intoxicated woman is a "? victim" no matter if she agreed to get intoxicated or not. She can be on video saying "I know what I'm doing, Im about to get high as ? and get dis Jello-Puddin ? " and if she cries ? -LEGALLY- its ? because a women can not consent to sex while intoxicated (which is ? ).
So him saying he gave ? pills to have sex with them doesn't mean ? . Just means the ? had sex while she was high and cried ? later.
Now when he admits to SPIKING drinks then let me know. Until then amma just go on my gut feelings and common sense. That ? slipped them hoes mickeys and fondled them. -
I wanna drug a ? and ? him in the ass. It's my new fantasy.

Bill Cosby’s name has been dragged for many months as dozens of women claimed he drugged them. His detractors now have their proverbial silver bullet.
According to published reports, Bill Cosby admitted in a 2005 deposition that he received Quaaludes so that he could get them to women he wanted to bed.
He also admitted to giving at least one women the drug. The now 77-year old comic testified under oath and said he gave a Temple University employee at least three and a half pills of Benadryl.
The report was made public after the Associated Press forced the documents’ release by a judge. Cosby’s lawyer’s attempted to block the release of the documents, allegedly claiming it would embarrass him.
The 2005 case was settled in 2006.
Cosby has never been criminally charged for the crimes that he’s been accused of.

that does not mean he slipped it in their drinks without their knowledge, although he probably did. -

Man first time I heard of quaaludes was in WOLF OF WALLSTREET. Been on the hunt for those since the day I left the theaters
