Cosby Admitted in 2005 Testimony to Using Money, Drugs to Lure Women 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Newly unsealed legal testimony shows comedian Bill Cosby admitted in a
lengthy 2005 deposition that he used his fame and money to lure young
women to have sex with him. He also admitted giving young women
sedatives. When asked about nonverbal consent, Cosby said, "I think I'm
a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic
sexual things, whatever you want to call them." More than 40 women have
alleged that Cosby sexually assaulted them in incidents dating back
decades. Many say they were drugged by Cosby and then raped.
