Bill Cosby Admitted to Getting Date-Rape Drugs in 2005 Testimony

The case against Bill Cosby just got a lot stronger.

The comedian has been facing renewed charges from nearly two dozen women alleging that he drugged and raped or attempted to rape them in multiple events spanning over the last four decades. Cosby has mostly stayed silent or, on rare occasions, denied any wrongdoing.

However, newly released court records show that Cosby may have admitted to these allegations in the past...or at least part of them.

According to the records, Cosby stated in a 2005 court deposition that he obtained Quaaludes, known for being heavy sedatives, and intended to give them to women in order to have sex with them.

In that official transcript, the attorney clearly asks Cosby whether he intended to drug women with the Quaaludes, to which Cosby simply replies, "Yes."

It does not appear that Cosby admits to actually giving out those Quaaludes to any of his victims, and of course he doesn't admit to any of the rapes. However, according to the Associate Press who obtained the records, Cosby does admit to giving three half-pills of Benadryl to a female Temple University employee back in 2004. That same woman claims that Cosby then assaulted her at his home in Pennsylvania.

This evidence isn't enough to find Cosby guilty on its own, however it may be enough to bring forth a civil case for at least this particular alleged assault, hopefully providing justice by proxy for the many other victims whose statute of limitations has passed.
