Report: Bill Cosby testified in 2005 that he obtained drugs to give women for sex


Bill Cosby testified under oath a decade ago that he obtained sedatives to give to women, according to the Associated Press. The wire service — which went to court to compel the public release of documents detailing the admission — reported that Cosby intended to use the drugs on women he wanted to have sex with.

From the AP:

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 Monday.

According to the AP, Cosby admitted to getting Quaaludes and giving them to at least one woman.

Cosby’s lawyers did not immediately return The Post’s request for comment regarding the AP report Monday evening.

Dozens of women have levied sexual assault allegations against the comedian over the past year. Cosby and his lawyers have denied them. and he has never been criminally charged.

The allegations created a firestorm of controversy and caused Cosby to stepped down from Temple’s board of trustees after three decades. He also had multiple television projects canceled, and his “Far From Finished” tour was plagued with cancellations and protests across the country.

Cosby’s lawyers recently argued that it would be “terribly embarrassing” for the comedian if the documents were to be unsealed.
