Comedian Bill Cosby has long admitted having used drugs to lure women into sex and have extramarital affairs with them, according to the New York Times.
In a deposition made way back in 2005 and 2006, which was obtained by the Times, Cosby divulged his relationships with Beth Ferrier and Andrea Constand, who earlier accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting them.
The Times reported that the deposition was made through questionings by Constand's lawyer, Dolores Troiani. Cosby denied he sexually assaulted Constand, who was the former director for operations of Temple University's women's basketball team. The university is Cosby's alma mater.
Cosby said her sexual relations with Constand were consensual.
"I walk her out. She does not look angry. She does not say to me, don't ever do that again. She doesn't walk out with an attitude of a huff, because I think that I'm a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them," he said.
About Ferrier, who said she had a consensual relationship with the comedian, Cosby said they "had sex and we had dinners and sex and rendezvous."
Cosby said there was always sexual contact with Ferrier every time they had "rendezvous."
He said he didn't remember where these rendezvous occur but it was in "Denver for sure."
Cosby said he stopped seeing Ferrier as a decision of "just moving on."
"Don't want to see her anymore," he said.
But he said he didn't stop having extramarital affairs.
Cosby admitted that he got seven prescriptions for Quaaludes for three years in the 1970s, telling a Los Angeles doctor that he had a sore back.
"What was happening at that time was that that was -- Quaaludes happen to be the drug that kids, young people were using to party with and there were times when I wanted to have them just in case," he said.
Cosby said he never took the drugs but he used them to lure women into having sex with him.
When asked why he didn't take the drug, Cosby said, "because I used them" just like "the same as a person would say have a drink."
Cosby said he tried to hide his extramarital affairs from his wife, Camille.
At one point, he planned to pay Constand's educational expenses by "our writing a check" and not through a foundation.
"Our" meant family, he said.
Asked how he would explain to his wife the financial assistance to Constand, he said, "I would say to her that there is a person I would like to help."
He saidhe once sent $5,000 to Therese Serignese, who accused Cosby of taking advantage of her by drugging her in Las Vegas, through her agent at the William Morris Agency.
The agent gave the money to Serignese and Cosby said he reimbursed him in order to prevent "Mrs. Cosby" from finding out about her.
