Earlier this week Bill Cosby supporters were shocked after a 2005 deposition from a civil lawsuit that was settled out of court was unsealed revealing that Cosby had admitted under oath to obtaining Quaaludes with the purpose of supplying them to women he intended to have sex with.
Bill Cosby’s lawyer speaks out about the new revelations
“The only reason Mr. Cosby settled was because it would have been embarrassing in those days to put all those women on the stand and his family had no clue,” an attorney for Bill Cosby told ABC News.
During the deposition several women admitted to willingly taking the drugs supplied by Bill Cosby as a prelude to sex, while the woman who filed the lawsuit claims she did not give her consent.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck told the Associated Press his department would investigate any sexual assault accusations against Bill Cosby — even past the statute of limitations. The department’s public information officer, Det. Meghan Aguilar confirms that the police have at least one open criminal investigation that may have multiple accusations. The LAPD would not offer any more details because the case is ongoing.
