Bill Cosby Deposition Reveals He Pursued Young Women, Paid Them To Keep Affairs A Secret

Bill Cosby admitted in a deposition that he strategically pursued young women to have sex with them and then paid them to hide the affairs from his wife.

The deposition also reveals that the comedian had presented himself as an "apologetic, cavalier playboy" who "used a combination of fame, apparent concern and powerful sedatives" as a means of going after these young women, according to The New York Times.

The deposition was from 10 years ago and came from a civil lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand, one of the dozens of women who came forward in public and accused the actor of sexual assault.

Cosby, 78, has never been criminally charged and has fervently denied any wrongdoing since the allegations came into light, according to CNN.

"We are not making any comments right now. Thank you," Andrew Wyatt, Cosby's publicist, said when CNN tried to reach the Cosby's camp for comment on Saturday night while the actor's attorney, Dolores Troiani, kept quiet.

Court documents that were unsealed by a federal judge earlier this month revealed that Cosby acquired prescriptions for a powerful sedative to give to women he wanted to seduce.

The judge said that he unsealed the documents because he saw a disconnect between the persona Cosby has presented publicly through the years and the serious allegations made against him, according to NBC News.
