LAPD Opens Investigation Into Cosby Allegations
Bill Cosby may not be able to hide behind the statute of limitations much longer, as ABC reports the Los Angeles police department has opened an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by the now infamous comedian including into those for which the statute has expired.
LAPD officer Matthew Ludwig told the Guardian: “There’s been an open investigation involving Bill Cosby.”
The latest news comes after documents from a 2005 trial were released by the Associated Press in which the former comedian admitted giving a woman the sedative quaalude before having sex with her.
The 2005 suit concerned separate allegations of abuse against Andrea Constand, a basketball coach at Temple University in Philadelphia. That case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, and the documents, which include testimony under oath from Cosby, remained under seal for almost a decade before being revealed on Monday. Constand consented to be identified but did not want to comment, her lawyer told the Associated Press on Monday.
In one of the documents, Cosby answers the question of whether he gave sedatives to one woman before having sex with her: “Yes.” He also admits to giving quaaludes to others.
In the nine years since the Constand suit was settled, more than two dozen women have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse against Cosby. Almost all of the allegations involve variations of the same alleged modus operandi, with the victim being given either a pill or a drink before losing consciousness and allegedly being sexually assaulted.
