BILL Cosby has admitted to drugging young women in order to get them to have sex with him, in a decade-old deposition that has just been released.

The never-before-seen documents, unearthed by The New York Times, have given voice to Bill Cosby’s sordid affairs through the eyes of the man himself.

So explosive are the revelations, it could tear apart Cosby’s defence — with the comedian admitting to drugging women, feigning interest in a cancer victim for sex, and asking one woman to tell her mother about her orgasm, believing that would protect him.

Ten years ago, a young woman by the name of Andrea Constand filed a lawsuit against the TV star, accusing him of drugging her with a date rape drug then molesting her while she was passed out.

Forced to defend himself at a deposition at a Philadelphia hotel over four days, Cosby’s methods are revealed; feigning interest in their lives and the promise of key contacts before making his move.

The documents reveal a man unlike the TV character the world adored. An “unapologetic, cavalier playboy, someone who used a combination of fame, apparent concern and powerful sedatives in a calculated pursuit of young women”.

The deposition details Cosby’s relationship with Constand, where after a close mentor/mentee relationship that lasted for years, he allegedly drugged and molested her at his Philadelphia home.

Cosby detailed giving Constand one-and-a-half tablets of Benadryl “to relieve stress”, after which they “kissed and had sexual contact”. Constand’s lawyer believes the drug was much more powerful.

Later, in a disturbing revelation, Cosby told Ms Constand to tell her mother “about the orgasm”; which he believed would clear him of any wrongdoing.

“Tell your mother about the orgasm. Tell your mother how we talked.”

Cosby “comes across as alternately annoyed, mocking, occasionally charming and sometimes boastful, often blithely describing sexual encounters in graphic detail”, the New York Times reveals.

Cosby recalls five victims — he describes them as “rendezvous” — in the deposition; including a 19-year-old model who “pleasured him with lotion” and another whose relationship with the TV star ended rather abruptly. “Moving on”, he described it.

At least 13 women came forward in the court case, but their stories were never heard due to the fact Cosby settled out of court.

When asked if one of his alleged victims, Therese Serignese, was able to consent to sex after he gave her sedatives known as Quaaludes at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1976, he replied, “I don’t know”.

Quaaludes were a party drug at the time and Mr Cosby admitted to obtaining them through prescriptions ostensibly for a sore back, but in reality he planned to give them to young women. He equated their effect to “the same as a person would say have a drink”, and said he didn’t give them to people without their knowledge.

In another damning revaluation, Ms Constand’s lawyer Dolores Troiani asked Cosby whether he had feigned interest about a victim whose father had died of cancer: “Did you ask her those questions because you wanted to have sexual contact with her?”

“Yes,” Mr Cosby responded

Since new allegations surrounding the disgraced comic’s philandering began to resurface last year, Cosby has remained tight-lipped.
