“Yes”, Cosby said, according to the document, which was released after a request by The Associated Press. His lawyers had fought the documents’ release, saying it would be “terribly embarrassing”. He settled the lawsuit in 2006 for undisclosed terms.
Cosby has never been charged over the allegations but has seen a number of TV projects and shows cancelled in recent months.
Cosby, giving sworn testimony, said he got seven Quaalude prescriptions in the 1970s. The drug acts as a sedative and hypnotic.
Given Cosby’s 2005 testimony, Bloom said in a statement Monday evening “how dare he publicly vilify Ms. Dickinson and accuse her of lying when she tells a very similar story?” In these documents, Cosby admitted th… As accusers began to come forward in startling volume, those who believed in the Cosby’s innocence could plead that the comedy icon was being tried in the court of public opinion, rather than in a court of law, and that “outrage culture” was leading women to lodge charges that might or might not be true. In it, a lawyer asks Cosby about a 19-year-old accuser.
“You gave them to other people?” asked the attorney. He also admitted to meeting one unidentified woman after a performance in Las Vegas and offering her the drug.

“Yes”, Cosby answered on

Cosby “has evidenced a predilection for sexual contact with women who are unconscious or drugged”. The jurist noted that the case is not about Cosby’s status as a public person by virtue of the exercise of his trade as a televised or comedic personality.
