Claire McCaskill wants to revoke Bill Cosby’s Presidential Medal of Freedom
REUTERS Actor Bill Cosby is facing a string of sexual assault allegations It comes after the release of a 2005 deposition in which the disgraced actor admitted to buying Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to women before sex and even giving them to one lady in the past. The sexual assault allegations he faces have impacted his career and image.
Scott said she had refused to jump the bandwagon after dozens of women made sexual allegations against Cosby.
While Cosby admitted that he acquired seven prescriptions of Quaaludes with the intent to give the sedatives to young women he wanted to have sex with, he has not admitted to actually drugging any of his accusers. And Cosby had admitted, in the deposition partially released this week, that he had obtained quaaludes in the 1970s to give to young women he wanted to take to bed.
The ex- Temple University employee wants a judge to order “the entire deposition and transcripts” from her case to be unsealed and is seeking to void the confidentiality agreement. “Defendant has opened the door to the relief sought by his continuing actions of those of his ‘camp.'”.
Efforts to contact his attorney for comment Monday were unsuccessful. A judge said it was in the public interest to unseal the documents. The owners, who have showcased Cosby at ribbon-cuttings and in a mural along the side of its main restaurant, told The Washington Post that they are still trying to figure out what kind of presence he will have at their newest location.
Trump has been under fire in recent weeks for statements concerning Mexican immigrants. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. “These are not political criminals”, Cosby said.
Cosby, questioned under oath, identified the pills as the cold and allergy medicine Benadryl something Constand’s lawyer doubts would have left the 6-foot Constand “semi-conscious” on a couch until 4 a.m.
Constand also filed a defamation lawsuit alleging a Cosby lawyer smeared her in the tabloid press by accusing her family of demanding money in a “classic shakedown”.
Cosby on Nov. 22: “A guy doesn’t have to answer to innuendos”.
An email message to Cosby’s attorney wasn’t immediately returned Wednesday. Bill’s got to live with that.
“Cosby’s behaviors have caused plaintiff unwanted and overwhelming media attention, which has detrimentally affected her”, says the lawsuit. In 2004, she was a ex- college athlete whose childhood dream had been to become the first Canadian woman to play professional basketball. “These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola”. She tweeted “Yes” and “Sir” earlier this week after Cosby’s deposition was unsealed, as the Toronto Sun reported.
“I think that factors such as failure to disclose in a timely manner and contacts with the alleged perpetrator after the event are factors that weigh toward Mr. Cosby”, Castor said at the time. “It doesn’t define me….” “I’m just very happy for the victims that they have some sense of peace and validation”.
