Bill Cosby has admitted to having multiple extramarital affairs with women and giving some of them drugs, new court documents have revealed.
The New York Times have obtained documents from a deposition in which Cosby spent four days defending himself against a young women who claimed the comedian drugged and raped her.
The intense questioning occurred in 2005 and 2006 and the case has since been settled, however Cosby’s admission and intriguing answers have only now been revealed after a federal judge unsealed the 62-page document.
At one moment the plaintiff, Andrea Constand – who was a basketball manager at Temple University at the time – said “I think you’re making light of a very serious situation.”
“That may very well be,” replied Cosby.
Cosby admits at one point her gave Constand one and a half tablets of Benadryl to relieve stress and also admitted to giving young women quaaludes, but claimed the women were aware of that.
“I think I’m a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them,” said Cosby.
Cosby cannot be prosecuted and charged – despite dozens of women coming forward – as too many years have passed, with the statutes of limitation on sexual assault cases in most states now deem the cases too old, with physical evidence insufficient.
Cosby’s wife Camille, has admitted she is aware about the extramarital affairs but stands by her husband.
