I also dont know Cosby's side of the story.

It's in his deposition from 2005 which is now public knowledge. Easy enough to go and read if you are interested in this matter.

we know that his lawyer did not let him answer some questions

Two days after court documents from a 2005 deposition were released in which Bill Cosby admitted to buying Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with, the embattled comedian faces another legal motion from the woman at the center of the 2005 lawsuit.

In documents filed Wednesday and obtained by EW, Andrea Constand says Cosby and his legal team violated the confidentiality agreement they made in the 2006 settlement of the case, which also includes the 13 “Jane Doe” witnesses in her 2005 lawsuit, many of whom have come forward in recent months. She also seeks relief from provisions of the agreement that “prohibit her from making fair response to the numerous and inaccurate statements and innuendos” made by Cosby and his team.

In addition to being relieved from the confidentiality agreement, Constand wants all of the transcripts from the deposition released “so that the public can make a determination as to whether or not the statements and questions were taken out of context.” Some of the documents were unsealed Monday after the Associated Press went to court to compel their release. In them, Cosby also admitted to giving the sedatives to at least one woman and having sex with her. He also said he gave the plaintiff three half pills of Benadryl.

Cosby’s legal team tried to keep Cosby’s statements under wraps by arguing that the comedian is not a public figure, but Judge Eduardo Robreno of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania unsealed the deposition, stating that Cosby “has donned the mantle of public moralist and mounted the proverbial electronic or print soap box to volunteer his views on, among other things, childrearing, family life, education and crime,” and that by doing so, “he has voluntarily narrowed the zone of privacy that he is entitled to claim.”

He did not give them sedatives . He gave them tranquilizers .

Bill Cosby admitted in a 2005 deposition that he obtained Quaaludes with the intent of drugging young women in order to have sex with them, according to newly released court documents obtained by EW. The 77-year-old comedian also admitted giving the sedative to at least one women.

but deep down they want to hate, so me and you get hated lots !

but deep down they want to hate, so me and you get hated lots ! It makes them feel emotional, something they are naturally driven towards

Maybe he liked to rape, but at this point I dont know.

I spent about 5 minutes looking

Why do you do that?

Because IDK what she claims the consent for the drugs going into her body was.

as they knew what they were putting in their body, or should have

As you know from the various rape threads I dont consider having sex with someone who is drugged up or drunk is rape so long as they are not passed out and so long as they knew what they were putting in their body, or should have

The bottom line is, as you stated you have spent 5 minutes reading up on Cosby.

whattya mean sh failed. COSBY paod up and the agreement was sealed. You cannot draw a conclusion that favors vindication of Cosby from those happenings

it's okay to have sex with unconscious people

I dont think anybody thinks one jot about you until you spew some of your stupid bile

don't assume how people feel about you and your posting style.

Quaaludes, the brand name for methaqualone, were a popular sleeping pill in the 1960s and were used in the 1970s and ’80s as a club drug, particularly to help people come off of a cocaine high. In 1973, they were classified as a Schedule 11 federal narcotic, which means doctors could still prescribe quaaludes but it was illegal to abuse them (Adderall is a Schedule 11 drug today). In 1984 President Ronald Reagan signed a law banning the production of the drug, making it illegal. Cosby’s admission concerns a period during the 1970s, when quaaludes would have been legal with a prescription.

Philip Jenkins, a professor of history at Baylor University and the author of Decade of Nightmares: The End of the Sixties and the Making of Eighties America, who spoke generally about the use of quaaludes in the ’70s and not specifically about how Bill Cosby may have used them, said that drug was indeed believed to be an aphrodisiac that consenting adults could use to have sex. “Quaaludes were something that was meant to send you to sleep,” Jenkins told TIME. “But it was also supposed to be the world’s greatest aphrodisiac. It was meant to knock you out, but also give you an overpowering sense of sexual urge.”

Can you show where any of these women were unconscious because that drug doesn't do that .
