Bill Cosby spoke on the allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted women back in 2005 during a court testimony. In the testimony, Cosby admitted he bought Quaaludes to give to young women with the intent to have sex with them. Cosby also said he gave the sedative to one woman and other people. The 2005 trial was based on the accusations of a Temple University employee who claimed Cosby sexually assaulted her. The employee claimed he gave her three half-pills of Benadryl.

For a long time Cosby was a part of the board of trustees at Temple University. Once the sexual assault allegations fell on him he stepped down from his position. Before stepping down Cosby was the school's face of advertisements, fundraising campaigns and commencement speeches.

The Temple University employee is one of two-dozen women who have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct. In most of those allegations, Cosby was accused of drugging and raping the women. The allegations against Cosby stem back more than four decades. Despite all of the accusations, Cosby has never been criminally charged because of the statutes of limitations.

Since the allegations against Cosby broke his lawyers fought to make sure these court documents would not come out. They said it would reveal details of Cosby's marriage, sex life and prescription drug use.

"It would be terribly embarrassing for this material to come out," his lawyer George M. Gowen III argued. "Frankly, ... it would embarrass him, (and) it would also prejudice him in eyes of the jury pool in Massachusetts."

Lawyer Gayle Sproul argued the documents needed to come out because Cosby calls himself an "icon" that "held himself out as someone who would guide the public in ways of morality."
