Comedian Bill Cosby admitted back in 2005 that he bought prescription drugs with the intent of giving them to women he wished to have sex with, old court documents have revealed.

According to the documents recently obtained by the Associated Press, Cosby admitted to obtaining powerful sedatives known as quaaludes in the 1970s, which he said he gave to at least one woman.

“When you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?” lawyer Dolores Troiani asked.

“Yes,” Cosby answered on September 29, 2005.

“Did you ever give any of these young women the quaaludes without their knowledge?” she responded, before being interrupted by objections from Cosby’s lawyer.

The documents are part of a deposition in a sexual abuse lawsuit filed against Cosby by a former Temple University employee Andrea Constand, which was settled confidentially in 2006.

Cosby went on to say he gave Constand three half-pills of Benadryl. Two other women testifying on Constand’s behalf said they had knowingly received quaaludes from the actor.

Cosby’s lawyers had fought the release of deposition on the basis it would be “terribly embarrassing” to their client.

The now 77-year-old Cosby has since been accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women, including allegations he drugged and raped several women.
