The Associated Press
has secured some documents from Bill Cosby’s 2005 rape case. In the
documents, Cosby admits under oath that he bought Quaaludes with the
intention of giving them to women he wanted to fornicate with.
The 77-year-old comedian was testifying under oath in a
lawsuit filed by a former Temple University employee. He testified he
gave her three half-pills of Benadryl.

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.
Over a dozen women have come forward to accuse Cosby of similar actions.
