A judge ruled Tuesday that the sexual assault case against Bill Cosby can proceed to trial
Bill Cosby’s return to court on Tuesday revealed court documents from a decade ago that showed the comedian admitted to giving teenage girls alcohol and drugs before they had sex, the New York Post reports.
Cosby went so far as to say that at one point in his acting career, a modeling agency provided him with “five or six” girls per week.
The admissions stcomesms from testimony given in 2005 and 2006 as part of a lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand, the Canadian woman who alleges Cosby sexually assaulted her in 2004. In December, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, prosecutors filed the first criminal sexual assault charges against Cosby, accusing him of aggravated indecent assault, which is the reason why he’s back in court Tuesday.
Cosby’s deposition in the civil suit also included details from an encounter in the late 70’s with a woman named Therese Picking, who has since changed her last name to Serignese. Bill Cosby confessed to giving the 19-year-old model quaaludes to have sex with her after meeting her backstage at a show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Reports also surfaced that he paid the aspiring model to shut up so his wife would not find out. In another incident, Bill Cosby spoke out about inviting a teenage actress over to his home in 2000.
“On a later occasion, you had her masturbate you with lotion, did that ever happen?” Constand’s lawyer asked the comedian.
“Yes,” he said.
“[She] used the lotion to rub your penis and make you ejaculate?” the lawyer asked.
“Bingo,” Cosby replied.
In his deposition, Bill Cosby also confessed to drugging Constand, then a Temple University employee, claiming he was unaware she objected. “I don’t hear her say anything.?.?. And so I continue, and I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection,” Cosby said.
