I think I’m a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them. – Bill Cosby (As reported by The New York Times)
A decade ago, at a Philadelphia hotel, stand-up comedian Bill Cosby admitted to extending his ‘mentorship’ to young women before exacting sexual favours out of them.
But even as Cosby had managed to keep the deposition private, The New York Times has accessed the documents and reports that the entertainer comes across “as an unapologetic, cavalier playboy, someone who used a combination of fame, apparent concern and powerful sedatives in a calculated pursuit of young women — a profile at odds with the popular image he so long enjoyed, that of father figure and public moralist.”
While Cosby himself has not been charged criminally, several women have levelled allegations of sexual assault against him. Cosby however, continues to deny those charges.
