Comedian Bill Cosby filed legal papers on Tuesday calling for court
sanctions against a woman accusing him of sexual assault, saying she
breached their confidentiality agreement in the leak of his full
deposition from a 10-year-old civil case to the New York Times.
Cosby, 78, made the filing in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia in
opposition to recent motions by Andrea Constand, a former Temple
University employee who has alleged the comedian tricked her into taking
drugs before he sexually assaulted her.
The lawsuit she brought against Cosby was settled for an undisclosed
sum in 2006, and all documents from the litigation were sealed until a
federal judge on July 6 released limited redacted excerpts from Cosby’s
2005 deposition testimony in the case.
Those excerpts included Cosby’s admission under oath that he had
obtained Quaaludes, the brand name for a sedative widely abused as a
recreational drug in the 1970s, with the intent of giving the pills to
young women in order to have sex with them.
On July 8, Constand filed papers in court seeking to unseal the
entire deposition and her settlement agreement with Cosby, as well as to
free her from any confidentiality restrictions.
