Bill Cosby Admits To Giving Women Quaaludes
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- After years of denial, an admission from Bill Cosby. Court documents Bill Cosby wanted to keep secret have been made public.
Christie Ileto reports in a sworn deposition, he admitted he drugged women to have sex with them.
These are the documents the comedian didn't want anyone to see. Now unsealed for the first time, they're confirming what his countless accusers have said from the beginning.
It was the admission Bill Cosby's victims had been waiting for. According to a sworn deposition related to a 2005 lawsuit against Cosby, a lawyer asked, "When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use three Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" Cosby answered, "Yes."
The comedian's revealing testimony was part of a civil suit against a woman who accused Cosby of sexually assaulting her while she worked at Temple University. At the time, Cosby's attorney claimed he didn't understand the question.
Cosby has long been silent about the cascading accusations from more than three dozen women alleging he's drugged and raped them.
"Just before I had passed out, I remember him kissing me, touching me," one accuser said.
But the growing accusations didn't keep Cosby from performing. The legendary comedian stopped in Baltimore this past March at the Lyric, despite growing protests.
The Lyric said it was honoring its contract with the promoter who booked Cosby over a year ago.
"I can't believe he's on tour. I just can't believe it," said one. "But I wanted to see it."
Now 77 years old, Cosby has never been criminally charged but this latest admission may only silence the fans who once defended him.
Many of the accusations coming out against Cosby are 40 years old and the statute of limitations has run out.
Cosby denies all the allegations against him and is working to get several cases against him thrown out of court.
