Bill Cosby admitted under oath that he got a sort of sedative for the purpose of giving the drug to young women with whom he wanted to have sex, newly released documents show.
The documents date back to 2005, and they stem from a lawsuit filed by one of the many women who have publicly accused the comedian of sexual assault. The records were made public Monday after The Associated Press went to court to compel their release.
More than 25 women have since come forward with accusations against the actor going back 50 years, some accusing him of drugging or sexually assaulting them. This 73 year old, got quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with.
Lawyer Gloria Allred told the AP on Monday night that she hopes to use Cosby's newly unsealed testimony from 2005 in other court cases against the comedian.
"This admission is one that Mr. Cosby has attempted to hide from the public for many years and we are very gratified that it is now being made public."
