Bill Cosby Admits Using Quaaludes in Alleged Drugging Incidents
Bill Cosby has made significant admissions regarding his past conduct in a recent deposition connected to a lawsuit. This lawsuit has been filed by Donna Motsinger, who claims she was sexually assaulted by Cosby in the 1970s. In the deposition, Cosby confessed to frequently refilling prescriptions for Quaaludes, which he intended to use on women during sexual encounters. He maintained that he never took the drug himself.
Legal and Ethical Implications
Cosby’s statements have reignited intense scrutiny surrounding longstanding allegations against him. He shared details about acquiring Quaaludes from Dr. Leroy Amar, a gynecologist, during a poker game in Los Angeles before 1972. This revelation has raised ethical concerns, especially considering Dr. Amar’s later discredited status and the revocation of his medical license in 1979.
Donna Motsinger’s Allegations
Motsinger’s lawsuit outlines a distressing account of her experience. She alleges that while working at the Trident restaurant in Sausalito, California, Cosby offered her a pill that he claimed was an aspirin. She reported that after taking it, she became disoriented and fell in and out of consciousness. Eventually, she woke up at her home, partially dressed, a situation central to her allegations against Cosby.
Details of the Case
- Allegation Date: 1970s
- Location: Trident restaurant, Sausalito, California
- Pill Description: Round and white, identified as Quaaludes
- Defendant’s Argument: Cosby is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit
As the legal proceedings continue, both parties are preparing their evidence and arguments. The focus now shifts to how the court will address these serious and historical allegations linked to the use of Quaaludes and the broader implications of Cosby’s past behavior.
