Disturbing new information about Bill Cosby's alleged rapes.

Truly disturbing stuff.

Fallen comedy star Bill Cosby has been dodging sexual assault allegations for more than a decade.

Despite having nearly 40 allegations of rape and abuse to his name — the 77-year-old has managed to avoid a conviction.

However, new evidence revealed today may change that.

Documents obtained by Associated Press confirm that Cosby admitted to buying quaaludes with the intention of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with.

Quaaludes are a recreational drug that often acts as a sedative.

The confession was reportedly detailed in a 2005 legal testimony made by Cosby in response to accusations he sexually assaulted university student Andrea Constand.

“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?” Constand’s lawyer asked.

Cosby and his lawyers attempted to argue in the case against Constand that he only gave her Benadryl cough medicine. However, two other women who testified in the case said they knowingly took quaaludes from Cosby.

According to Harvard University, quaaludes, or methaqualone, are a sedative and hypnotic.

While Constand’s case was settled out of court in 2006, it was the first of many allegations of Cosby’s sexual misconduct.

Entertainment Tonight reports a total of 39 women have come forward with various accusations of sexual and physical assault inflicted by Cosby in years between 1965 and 2008.

Post continues after gallery:

While some cases are beyond the statute of limitations, others have simply never pressed charges.

Three women who claim to have been abused by Cosby have filed a defamation suit against him after he attempted to discredit them following their accusations.

According to AP, Cosby is “trying to get their case thrown out before discovery.”
