Obtained Quaaludes from gynecologist

Makes Statement0 Comments

In the Constand depositions, Cosby admits his Quaalude prescriptions were written by Los Angeles gynecologist and cosmetic surgeon, Leroy Amar.

Attorney: Did he know when he gave you those prescriptions that you had no intention of taking them?

Cosby: Yes. (It is not clear from the deposition how the doctor would have known that)

Attorney: Did you believe at the time that it was illegal for you to dispense those drugs?

Cosby: Yes.

While Cosby admits that he acquired seven prescriptions of Quaaludes with the intent to give the sedatives to young women he wanted to have sex with, he does not admit to actually drugging any women.

More details revealed

Makes Statement0 Comments

Further details of Cosby’s four-day questioning for the Constand case deposition reveal Cosby describing how he seduced a young model by showing interest in her father’s cancer and promising women mentorship and career advice before pushing them for sex. He also acknowledges he paid off women to keep his wife, Camille, from finding out about his philandering. At one point, he is rebuked by the plaintiff’s attorney for his jocular attitude.

Lawyer: I think you’re making light of a very serious situation.

Cosby: That may very well be.

Victim’s attorney, Allred:

Cosby’s testimony demonstrates how deceptive, manipulative and disgusting (he is). It is no wonder that he fought to keep this deposition, which reveals his revolting predatory conduct, hidden from public view. But the truth is out now and it will never be hidden again.

Claims no resistance from Constand

Makes Statement0 Comments

Cosby claims in his deposition that the intercourse between himself and Constand was not resisted and that he took her lack of resistance as consent for the intercourse.

I don’t hear her say anything. And I don’t feel her say anything, and so I continue and I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection. I am not stopped.
