APNewsBreak: Cosby said he got drugs to give women for sex

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — 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 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.

I didn't know he admitted to anything when he settled out of court in 2005.

Re: Bill Cosby
LOL, 3 half pills of Benadryl would probably put me down for a full day. Did Bill figure the girl had a runny nose and that would interfere with their "romantic" evening? I guess Cosby's reasoning during the deposition was "if I say I was sneaking gorilla biscuits(Quaaludes) in their drink, I'm in trouble, but if I say it was some over the counter allergy meds, I'm cool."chaos wrote:I didn't know he admitted to anything when he settled out of court in 2005.

What I don't understand is how the AP was able to get at those sealed court docs. Usually in any sealed case,

I finally read this last night. Runaways first bassist was only 16 when she was drugged and raped by their manager. Motherfucker has recently died.
She told me she never thought she’d go public with her rape, but last fall, she started seeing similar stories everywhere. More than a dozen women had come forward against Bill Cosby. Kesha filed a lawsuit alleging that she had been drugged and assaulted by her producer, Dr. Luke. And there were so many undergraduate women who were finally speaking up about sexual assault. “I realized, ‘Oh my God, this is what’s happening on college campuses,’” she said.
Jackie saw herself in those young women and knew all the hurt and shame that awaited them. “They have to be making the same value judgments about themselves as I made about me,” she explained. “I know from personal experience how all those things can eat away at you. They can take vibrant young people and turn them into something else.”

Re: Bill Cosby
I always thought his standup was funny. It doesn't make them less funny.
But there is no way any work could ever excuse what he did. It'd have been best if he got jailed and the jokes never came, but they did and stand on their own. The jokes didn't rape anybody.
And as far as TV shows, you're asking to write off a shitload of other people's time and effort as well to dismiss, and discard them.

Kim Fowley was a piece of shit predatory pedophile, no two ways about it. He absolutely targeted underage girls. Worse, it wasn't any big secret amongst those in the industry in LA in the 70's and lurid stories about Fowley's "exploits" have circulated through the music community for decades.perkana wrote:I finally read this last night.
