Apparently, he did admit to giving drugs to women in order to have sex with them.
PHILADELPHIA — Bill Cosby admitted in a 2005 deposition that he obtained Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with. He admitted giving the sedative to at least one woman.
The Associated Press went to court to compel the release of the documents, and they were made public Monday. Cosby's lawyers had objected on the grounds that it would embarrass their client.
The 77-year-old comedian was testifying under oath in a lawsuit filed by a former Temple University employee. He testified he gave her three half-pills of Benadryl.

Innocent until proven guilty is a (vital) legal standard in a court of law, but has little or no bearing in the court of public opinion.
Hope this links work:

He admitted it in the 2005 deposition which I saw in the news and as kibbegirl indicates above.
I guess Whoopi is upset about it and clings to denial.
Apparently his lawyer tried to suppress it because he's "not a public figure." Um, OMG. Such delusion! Who could be MORE of a public figure??
Not only is he an actor and author, but he gets paid a lot of money by a lot of people to perform and speak. In public.
And his lawyer also said something crazy about having the docs sealed as not to "embarrass" his family.
Am I the only one who believes that Camille Cosby heard about the details of the 2005 drugging when the public did?
Holy ****:

What a horrible person.
I think we can answer the original question that started this thread. No, Bill Cosby isn't innocent just because he's not been proven guilty. He's just not in jail because he hasn't been proven guilty.
It makes me feel a little ill that the court that saw that deposition allowed Cosby to introduce a clause that would keep all that information secret. They were okay with the knowledge that he would most likely go right back out there and keep doing what he had been doing? They didn't mind women being molested by that power-mad pervert, so his reputation wouldn't be tarnished and his family wouldn't be hurt? What about all the other people being hurt?????

A court is not going to obstruct a civil action clause that not illegal to which both parties agree to as part of the settlement.
