Court records from a civil case involving Bill Cosby have drawn attention to sworn testimony in which the entertainer said he obtained qu@aludes with the intent of giving them to women ahead of sexual encounters. The statements came from a deposition tied to a lawsuit filed by accuser Donna Motsinger.
In the testimony, Cosby said the prescriptions came from a gynecologist, Dr. Leroy Amar, during a poker gathering at Cosby’s Los Angeles home in the early 1970s. Public records later showed Amar’s medical license in California was revoked years afterward.
Motsinger alleges Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1972 while she was working as a server in California. She claims she was given a pill she believed was harmless, after which she lost consciousness and later woke up partially undressed. Cosby has consistently denied s+xual assa¥lt allegations and is pushing to have the lawsuit dismissed, while the accuser continues legal efforts to pursue the case.
