Overview
- Portions of a previously sealed deposition filed in court and obtained by TMZ show Bill Cosby acknowledging he got Quaaludes intending to give them to women for sex.
- Cosby said under oath he refilled the prescription seven times and that he never took the pills himself, according to the filings.
- He identified gynecologist Dr. Leroy Amar as the source of the prescription at a poker game before 1972; records show Amar’s California medical license was revoked in 1979.
- Plaintiff Donna Motsinger alleges Cosby drugged and raped her in 1972 after giving her a pill she believed was aspirin, and her civil case remains active.
- Cosby’s legal team is seeking dismissal of Motsinger’s suit; his attorney calls media reports based on the deposition distorted and denies any admission of involuntary incapacitation, with a trial date referenced as March 2 in one report.
