“When you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?” lawyer Dolores M Troiani asked.

“Yes,” Cosby answered on 29 September 2005.

“Did you ever give any of these young women the quaaludes without their knowledge?” Troiani asked.

Cosby’s lawyer again objected, leading Troiani to petition the federal judge to force Cosby to cooperate.

...literally speechless right now.

“It would be terribly embarrassing for this material to come out,” lawyer George M Gowen III argued in June.

Cosby’s lawyers had objected on the grounds that it would embarrass their client.

. . . is that even a valid legal argument? Like, AT ALL?

The judge laughed, right?

I had the same thought. Ridiculous argument!

snarkbite July 7 2015, 20:21:21 UTC

That was my exact thought as well.

Oh sure yes lets not embarrass YOUR client. What a load of utter shit.

I grew up with this man as a role model. And then it turns out he was this the whole time.

I wish that sexual assault didn't have a time limitation as well.

I am so fucking disgusted with all of this. Like the comment above me, I thought he was great, my family and I always quoting Bill Cosby Himself. I adored his show. He can fuck right off into hell for what he did to all those women. FUCK YOU BILL COSBY!

Saw longer piece on this on PBS earlier. some additional details.

The judge that allowed the AP to have the documents basically stated it was because Cosby had involved himself in moralizing publically about sex, therefore making him a public figure and no longer afforded the same privacy protections as a private citizen.

Andrea Constand was raped by him while attending a university dinner where she was seeking career advice for him. so that was a really sketchy power set up already before the drugging.
