Bill Cosby Rape, 2005 Deposition: Details Methods of Pursuit with Women

The New York Times obtained Bill Cosby's full 2005 court transcript and made the files public. In Cosby's court deposition he spoke of different methods of pursuit he'd use to sleep with women. He offered young women career advice, used his wealth to lure them in and even asked one woman about her father's death in a way of "pushing them for sex acts."

Cosby went on to say in the deposition that he knew several nonverbal cues that suggested a woman was willing to consent to sex.

"I think I'm a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them," Cosby said.

During the trial one of the lawyers felt that Cosby was "making light of a very serious situation." Cosby replied by saying, "That may very well be."

When the trial moved to his relationship with Ms. Constand, Temple University's basketball manager, he said the two met up one night at his Pennsylvania home. The lights were dimmed, there was a fire and Cognac was out.

"I take her hair and I pull it back and I have her face like this," he said. "And I'm talking to her ...And I talked to her about relaxing, being strong. And I said to her, come in, meaning her body."

Cosby then said he tried to kiss her but didn't because he felt she didn't want him to.

Somehow the subject of Constand's mother came up and Cosby said that if she considered him a "dirty old man", he said she needed to tell her mother "about the orgasm." Cosby, worried that her family would embarrass him, offered to pay the rest of her tuition.
