Bill Cosby confessed to using drugs to ‘seduce’ women

Cosby used sweet talk, promises and drugs in seducing at least five women into sexual encounters, according to his own, bragging words from a newly uncovered deposition the disgraced comic made a decade ago.

In the deposition’s biggest bombshell, Cosby admitted “I don’t know” when asked whether one of his alleged victims, Therese Serignese, was able to consent after he gave her Quaaludes in the Las Vegas Hilton in 1976.

The disgraced comic also boasted that he refrained from sexual intercourse with his conquests, because he did not want them to fall in love with him.

Intercourse “is something that I feel the woman will succumb to more of a romance and more of a feeling — not love, but it’s deeper than a playful situation,” Cosby said cavalierly in the deposition, The New York Times reported Saturday night.

“I think I’m a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things,” he also bragged.

Cosby made the sickening boasts as he was grilled by a lawyer for plaintiff Andrea Constand, a young woman who worked as a basketball manager at Temple University.

The case, in which Constand accused Cosby of drugging her for sex, settled in 2006, with much of the paperwork then sealed.

But a 62-page memorandum in the case, which made reference to the deposition, was released earlier this month; the full deposition was obtained by the Times late last week.

He and Constand were merely “playing sex, we’re playing, petting, we’re playing,” he claimed.

Asked if he was in love with her, Cosby answered, “No.”

In the deposition, Cosby described calculatedly wooing Constand by “Inviting her to my house, talking to her about personal situations dealing with her life, growth, education.”

Then there were the drugs.

Cosby admitted only to giving Constand 1¹/₂ tablets of Benadryl as a stress reliever.

But he also admitted he kept a stash of Quaaludes for the same purpose.

Cosby said he filled seven prescriptions for the popular sleeping aid and party drug over the course of two or three years in the 1970s — telling a Los Angeles doctor that he needed them for his sore back when his plan was to give them to women.
