Bill Cosby Admits Under Oath to Acquiring Quaaludes for Sexual Activity

Bill Cosby admitted under oath to repeatedly refilling a recreational prescription for quaaludes. His stated intention was to provide these pills to women in hopes of engaging in sexual activity. Cosby testified that he never consumed the pills himself.

Bill Cosby admitted under oath to refilling a recreational prescription for quaaludes seven times, stating his intention was to provide these pills to women in hopes of engaging in sexual activity.

Deposition Details Emerge

This admission is part of a sealed deposition Cosby provided in a lawsuit filed by Donna Motsinger, one of his accusers. Legal documents include excerpts from this testimony.

Cosby stated he received the quaaludes prescription from Dr. Leroy Amar, a gynecologist and acquaintance. This occurred during a poker game at Cosby's Los Angeles residence prior to 1972. Dr. Amar's medical license in California was revoked in 1979.

Allegations by Donna Motsinger

Motsinger's lawsuit alleges that Cosby drugged and raped her in 1972. At the time of the alleged incident, she was employed as a server at the Trident restaurant in Sausalito, CA.

Motsinger claims Cosby gave her a pill she believed to be aspirin. After taking it, she reported losing and regaining consciousness, and later woke up in her home wearing only her panties. The quaaludes Cosby admitted to acquiring were described as round, white pills.
