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.
According to the documents acquired by the AP, two woman testified in the same case that they knowingly took quaaludes from Cosby.
Cosby’s lawyers objected to the release of the documents from the deposition in a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand on the grounds that it would embarrass their client.
This was the first of many sexual abuse lawsuits against Cosby.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
In a deposition on September 29, 2005, the comedian was asked, “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?”
“Yes,” responded Cosby.
