Bill Cosby |
Bill Cosby testified in 2005 that he
got Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have
sex with, and he admitted giving the sedative to at least one woman and
"other people,", according to documents obtained Monday by The
Associated Press.
The AP had gone to court to compel
the release of the documents; Cosby's lawyers had objected on the grounds that
it would embarrass their client.

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 settled that sexual-abuse lawsuit for undisclosed terms in 2006. His
lawyers in the Philadelphia case did not immediately return phone calls on
Monday.
Cosby has been accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct,
including allegations by many that he drugged and raped them in incidents
dating back more than four decades.
Cosby, 77, has never been criminally charged, and most of the accusations
are barred by statutes of limitations.
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.
