Bill Cosby admitted in a 2005 testimony that he acquired seven prescriptions for Quaaludes (Methaqualone) with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with.
The actor and comedian also admitted to giving the sedative to at least one woman, according to the Associated Press.
This information was revealed in a newly uncovered testimony and court documents from former Temple University employee Andrea Constand's 2004 lawsuit against Cosby. The lawsuit, which was settled under confidential terms in 2006, was the first of many sexual misconduct lawsuits against the 77-year-old star. Last December, Cosby resigned from Temple's board of trustees, according to CNN.
Cosby has been accused of drugging and raping at least 42 women as far back as 1965, according to Slate. He has denied any wrongdoing and has never been criminally charged.
The comedian is best known for producing and starring on The Cosby Show from 1984-1992.
