mr. cosby says "yes."lawyer follows up "did you give any of the young women the quaaludes without their knowledge?" mr. cosby's lawyer objects, restricted to the jane does would you please. the other lawyer says "no, i will not." and the other lawyer says "do not answer it." my question is should she have answered that question? i ask because isn't an attorney supposed to tell his client to not answer a question only if it will divulge privileged information or trade secrets or violate a court order? >> well, it could be any of those things or it could be because it violates some agreement that the parties have about questions that will be answered and will not be answered and this was one of those instances where questions were only supposed to be about a particular is up seth of individuals and i certainly can't go back and second guess the work that was done by able counsel in that deposition. but what's important there is that the questions that mr. cosby did answer and candidly, more candidly than man

so what does mr. cosbyore than 25 women who have come forward to accuse him of sexual assault and rape? >> i'm not certain what you mean by saying that you never hear from bill cosby since through his attorneys he from the very beginning has denied repeatedly the accusations and allegations that have been lodged against him. >> we have had written statements from the attorneys. you are the first person we are able to speak to live. we haven't heard from bill cosby personally. i'm wondering what has he told you about the accusations? >> i'm not going to reveal client confidences. when his attorneys speak we are speaking for him. when we speak and say that he denies all of the allegations and accusations then that is the statement of bill cosby. when you look at the recent filings just as recently as two days ago in another case in pennsylvania those are the statements of mr. cosby. it's not necessary for him to do anything more than what he is doing which is relying on able counsel to speak for him in a situ

mr. cosby himself. but he too, also -- like p.j. mentions he calls me the very next day and my agent's the one, joe ferrel here in denver was our agent at the time she's the one who called and said that cosby forgave me. >> cosby forgave you? that's what you heard? >> that's what i heard. and then i never had another booking from that agent ever again. >> wow. beth let me come back to you. gloria you hear beth's story, the other accusers' stories. we were talking about the statute of limitations. you know can any of these cases be used in current day against bill cosby whatsoever? >> well brooke first of all, let me say how proud i am of beth and her courage in speaking out and also many of the other accusers. i do need to correct a bit what sara said in her setup case because i do have a case which is not a defamation case. i represent judy huff who i think was the person who -- patricia was alluding to and miss huff alleges that she was 15 years old when she became the victim of sexual misconduct by bill cosby at the playboy mansi

they say they were assaulted, abused by mr. cosby and mr. cosby says, ain't so. i'm not that kind of guy. i didn't do it. they're liars. so now you have one stark contrast to the other. and we'll have a forum, a trial hopefully that will determine who is just telling the truthful. >> finally, one of your clients was mentioned, i believe, in the deposition that was uncovered. not by name. she was redacted. >> i can't talk to you specifically about how my client feels but i can tell that you generally down to the very last woman, they have a failed sense of vindication. a failed sense of joy that this deposition has come out. and shown that they were telling the truth. >> all right. thank you very much. thank you. >>> good evening. and thanks to you at home for joining us. happy wednesday. happy birthday to the u.s. secret service. secret service turns one of those really good big round numbers today. today the secret service turns 150 years old. apparently to recognize the secret service on the 150th anniversary of its founding, today all the people alive in the u

mr. cosby's handlers and mr. by himself, his public statements are very different than what he says under oath. my client is the only one that can hold him accountable in a court of law, and i can't wait to get him in a deposition and ask him those questions. >> so i want to ask you a little bit about the evidence because you're talking about documentary evidence that the cosby camp promises it will forward. so many of the accusers have said, you know, their statutes of limitations have expired or at a time they made any kind of complaint there was so little evidence because they had waited, say, up to a year. what can you tell me about your case and hard evidence because that's what this takes when you're going into a criminal situation, civil, for that matter, it's evidence that counts. what do you have? >> well, i'm sure you can understand and i would hope viewers would understand, certain evidence the police department has asked us not to disclose. my client gave over a two and a half hour statement with witne

and the issue was it mr. cosby who has been saying that you're a liar, it's untrue or have his lawyers or representatives been saying that? >> isn't that the same thing? >> it's not. if i'm a public advocate and i'm in the public addressing issues against my client i can deny them and engage in legalistic and lawyerese, but are you going to get through mr. cosby through his lawyers and then you have to address the issue to the damages of the reputations of the individuals who he's alleged to have engaged in these sexual improprieties. >> and that's a very, very tough thing to measure. one thing is certain, there's a lot of damage that's been done to these women. joey and mel, stick around, there's still a lot more to talk about. thank you for that. >>> what does it take for this to actually come to fruition? strangely enough, something like pound cake. i'm not kidding here. what pound cake has to do with the release of bill cosby's damning deposition. quite literally. we'll explain next. of work... to run this busi

you will find that one, mr. cosbyany criminal wrong doing and noncon sexual sex and given the parties quaaludes. >> i have a limited amount of time and i have questions and right now i have to hit a commercial. we'll be right back after this. you tap the bumper of a station wagon. no big deal... until your insurance company jacks up your rates. you freak out. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? hey insurance companies, news flash. nobody's perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong and try aleve pm now wit

. >> mr. cosbygged me. >> reporter: who have all come forward over the past year claiming they were drugged or sexually assaued by koz beach. in most cases decades ago. >> he flipped me over and sexually assaulted me. >> his behavior was like that of a predator. >> reporter: cosby's legal team issued a number of denials to these allegations and cosby has never been criminally charged. instead the subject of a media firestorm. >> if you feel that the media has been fair? >> let's leave that alone. >> okay all right. >> because that's a fight. >> okay. >> reporter: prior to tonight's developments developments, despite the mountain of allegations there are those who have stood by him all the while, including cosby show co-star phylisia rashad. >> what has happened is declaration in the media of guilt without proof. >> reporter: how would you explain to people who have never met him who bill cosby is? >> he is an intellectual. he is generous. he is kind. >> reporter: it is yet to be seen if cosby's bigg

if mr. cosbythat all of these charges are untrue and he believes it so strongly why not come out publicly now and say so? >> it's not a question of belief. as i said previously mr. cosby has through his attorneys from the beginning denied the accusations against him. if anyone is being defamed right now through media, through celebrity onlookers, through others it's mr. cosby. >> so we won't be seeing any more public statements on this matter from mr. cosby? >> i would anticipate that in the cases that are still ongoing that you will see statements because when there are filings by the attorneys those are statements on mr. cosby's behalf and i do hope that as those things are filed, that those who are responsible for putting out information will take a good hard look at them and then report on what's actually being filed in court. because that's the only place where we can actually see some measure of justice. >> miss pressley thanks very much for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> they are

mr. cosby was in new york that date. we will provide the evidence that establishes mr. cosby's whereabouts on august and the preceding days. i understand she never said the day. she didn't specify august 9th did she? >> no. it's fancy lawyering by mr. singer. my client never said a specific date she was there. she said she was there for a private party where mr. cosby was in attendance. they have taken that and extrapolated. there was one party, a public party, the midsummer night's dream party held at the playboy mansion every year. i think everyone assumed that. that was not the case. it was a general, private party she attended. and, you know, from my perspective as an attorney it's nice to find out he has these records dating back to 2008. now, in litigation whether criminal or civil, i would like them to produce the records. to date they have produced nothing. >> you want the 2005 deposition the full deposition only excerpts have been released. do you think it will contain what the lapd needs for their investigation? >> well it's hard to tell at this point because i

mr. cosby in the past has used drugs as a means to get sex, one could be -- one could be happy about that prospect of the documents being released. >> and as for yourself? >> as for myself? i -- i take every available opportunity, every document, every admission, if you would, and put to it best use in order to bring my case to a successful conclusion. and i was heartened to see that the judge realized that our forum, our trials should be public and that any admissions that are made need to be brought to the public light and public scrutiny. and so i'm happy to use what the judge said is available to be used. >> okay. i want you to -- if you could shed some light on this, cosby's 2005 testimony in this deposition, where he talks about giving, he says a woman kwai ludes, is he talking about your client, theresa green? >> you mean trees seranice? >> yes. >> it appears that way. i think there were other documents that indicate mr. cosby was accused using kwai ludes with two women. trees was one of

mr. cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. one thing is clear. sk cosby the hard questions are now paying attention. and this time the story is not going away. when we come back -- >> he drugged and raped me. >> more than two dozen women come forward. >> bill cosby appears to think that rape is a joke. >> and new revelations in cosby's own words about drugs and sex. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla, apremilast. otezla is not an injection, or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla's prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatme

it's high time that the world with finally starts to look and see directly at mr. cosbyand it's about time. >> cosby's legacy already clouded hangs in the balance. >> professionally, you can't deny his career and the importance of "the cosby show." he is mr. huxtable, but then you have to look at the man who created that character bill cosby and everything he's accused of doing and also remember that. >> because the statute of limitations has expired of almost all of the alleged incidents, it's unlikely cosby will ever face criminal charges. but for barbara bowman, the long battle has been worth it. >> i have to imagine that there's a sinking feeling somewhere in his gut that it's over. >> in the days we spent with her last fall, she shared painful, intimate details about the past 30 years. and she was stoic. >> that is until the end of our last interview. >> oh, my god. people are listening. my story is told. i'm not lying and now people know it. and i'm so sad for all of us, but it validates every one of us to be able to compare our stories and see the similarities and

the only case in the nation in fact against mr. cosby.s to the heart of what did he do? what did he not do? it is not a defamation case and a case alleging sexual abuse so it is very serious. it is even more serious whens the a case of child sexual abuse. so we're looking forward to what the california supreme court is going to decide on this case. we hope we can move forward. mr. cosby has been trying to hide the truth way too long. and we're very glad this new deposition was finally made public. >> i spoke to bruce castro who was the prosecutor that investigated the underlying claims in the newly released deposition. he's running for da and says there might be a perjury prosecution available based on the deposition which carries up to seven years potential prison in pennsylvania. do you see anything like that possible? do you think in your view as an expert involved in these cases that there is a route wherein bill cosby could be prosecuted and end up in jail? >> well i wouldn't want to make that accusation or reach that conclusion unle

mr. cosby's deposition. court to unseal the entire deposition. in the meantime news outlets gained access to the depositions through a court reporter and that was not proper. we have motions pending right now to decide and discuss those matters. >> what would the motion you have against the judge, what are you trying to do? >> there's not a motion against the judge. there's a motion before the judge because we feel that there are were various violations. and that it's through those violations that the entire deposition ended up in the public when it should not have been. >> the court rule states that unless there is an objection documents filed in the court will be unsealed automatically two years after the conclusion of litigation. so when the ap filed a request, mr. cosby's attorneys objected said said, that's the judge that you're talking about. >> yes. and that related to 16 documents including a motion for sanctions that had excerpts of his deposition. the deposition itself was not filed in public. so t

what can a person say to mr. cosby? you are a monster. you are a vile severely ill person who has gone and taken advantage of 49 of us and we ask -- we want to come eye to eye with you, mr. cosby. we want our time in court. that will be our justice. because we're not going away. and we're each fighting to get our statutes of limitations via our states that we live in we want to make those changes. that's the justice, that's what we need to do each of us individually have to suffer through but not in silence anymore, that we are all share the same identical story, the same piece that mr. cosby alleges that we are liars and drug addicts and alcoholics and what not and it's high time that the world finally starts to look and see directly at mr. cosby and that he's the one that is at fault, not us. >> that was beth ferrier. thank you so much. i have cnn legal analyst mark geragos and also with me attorney lisa bloom who represents former super model janice dickinson. she says bill cosby sexually assaulted her back in 1982 and she's suing cosb

mrs. cosby. he thought mrs. cosby wouldn't know and this is in relation to andrea constand he was helping somebody. >> he was a wonderful wayman in that way. >> helping people mentoring people. and he would find the women he wanted to have sex with by mentoring them and caring. >> engo he was under oath in this deposition and he says some things that are extremely disturbing. but he doesn't actually admit to rape or sexual crime in any way. >> no crimes at all. the defense would say he answered the questions with specificity. he didn't lie. he told the honest truth, no matter how bad it was for him. >> stay with me. i want to bring in our cnn legal analyst joey jackson. how damaging is it for this new information to be out now? >> well it's entirely compellingly damaging. there's two courts of course as we know. there's the court of public opinion and then there's that other court where you actually air cases and they are heard in front of judges and juries. as it relates to the court of public opinion, i believe

and mr. cosbyor those who doubt whether he did it not, just look to what he said under oath in this deposition in this civil lawsuit. are you going to now believe mr. cosby? he said that he did it. what more do you need? >> one last question gloria. one of the women who has been on our air since these revelations came to be has said that cosby is a rapist. she accused him of being a rapist and says that a rapist's greatest weapon is silence. what do you think cosby's next move will be? >> well i think cosby's next move is to try to block each and other lawsuit that had been filed against him. that's what he's trying to do with ours. he's trying to have it dismissed. he filed a petition. and we'll see what the california supreme court decides. he was unsuccessful in blocking the associated press from - getting this deposition from this lawsuit which was settled. if not for the courage of this judge who decided that this deposition must be released the public wouldn't know what he testified to under

mr. cosby doing everything he can to block her case from going forward, including going all the way from the trial court to the california court of appeals to the california supreme court, but he was unsuccessful in his effort to have the california supreme court review this matter, and the petition was denied and that's why we are able to proceed and we are going to go full speed ahead because this case was filed roughly about seven months ago, and it's long overdoue for her to have her day in court and for cosby to be held accountable. >> what is the first matter of substance that you will ask bill cosby? >> i don't think it's appropriate for me to reveal the specific questions that i am going to be asking and i think that mr. cosby may find that he is surprised by some of them and i am sure he will anticipate many of them, and we will conduct it in a professional manner and we are not going to disclose a head of time to mr. cosby or his attorneys which questions we intend to ask. my guess is

mr. cosby's deposition.rovided his lawyers with the time place and location and we'd like to take it in august. because it's long overdue for our client to be able to move forward in thislawsuit. it has been delayed because of mr. cosby's efforts to block it and he did so by filing a writ with the california court of appeals and then filing review with the california supreme court which was also denied. now we can move forward and are doing so vigorously. >> my understanding and it's a little hard to get this definitively because there is some haziness about the number of accusers and may be people that haven't come forward. in terms of public on the record accusations that nothing falls before the statute of limitations. so a civil pursuit is the only legal avenue open at this point. is that your understanding? >> in reference to my client judy huff the district attorney has said it is too late for her even if what she is saying is true, there's no statement that it is or is not true but it is too late in c

. >> reporter: now a sworn deposition of mr. cosby released late yesterday by a philadelphia judge may provide support to some of those allegations. in the deposition cosby himself admits he obtained seven prescriptions for quaaludes in the 1970s and gave them to others. "when you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" cosby responds, "yes." the deposition sealed for more than a decade came to light after the associated press petitioned a judge to release it. cosby's lawyers argued public disclosure would violate his right to privacy and would embarrass cosby. but the judge wasn't having it, issuing a stunning rebuke. the stark contrast between bill cosby the public moralist and bill cosby the subject of serious allegations concerning improper and perhaps criminal conduct is a matter to which the public has a significant interest." cosby sidestepped questions about who he gave the drugs to and when or whether he ever coerced or forced women t

mrs. cosbypart, has remained silent, exempt for a statement she released last fall. the man i met and fell in love with and whom i continue to love is the man you knew through his work. he is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man and a wonderful husband, father and friend. he is the man you thought you knew. >> alexander joins us now. she's made more recent statements. >> she not only came to her husband's defense but she made some pointed remarks about the press saying the portrait of the man who emerged she didn't know. you have this torrent of allegations and saying these women were not being properly vetted. these women saying they vindicated and validated. mrs. cosby, not saying in response now. >> and there are some suits against cosby because of some of the statements cosby's camp made about some of these women. thanks. so for the reporting. bearing in mind that bill cosby has neefr been charged with nor convicted of anything, we wanted to talk about the forces that pull a predator. aut

mr. cosby's efforts to block it. and he did so by not only filing a where it with the california court of appeals which was denied but filing a petition for review with the california supreme court which was also denied. now we can move forward and we are doing so vigorously. >> my understanding and it is a little bit hard to get this definitively because there is haziness about the number of accusers and there may be people who haven't come forward. in terms of public on the record accusations that nothing falls before the statute of limitations, right? so a civil pursuit is really the only legal avenue open at this point. is that your understanding? >> well, in reference to my client the district attorney has said it is too late for her even if what she's saying is true, there is no statement that it's not true or it is true, but it is toole late in california to criminally prosecute mr. cross by for what judy alleges. it is not too late because there is a different statute of limitations, a different time period t

. >> reporter: jessica mr. cosby could not have expect these comments to be made public because they were supposed to remain sealed as part of the settlement deal. now the former montgomery county district attorney says someone on cosby's legal team drop the ball. in february of 2005, then montgomery county district attorney, bruce castor released that he would be bringing charges against bill cosby for at ledge assault of the former temple university employee, saying that at the time he found that insufficient credible, admissible evidence exist upon which any charge against mr. cosby could be sustained beyond a reasonable doubt but with the release of these most recent transcripts he says he is now able to reveal more about the decision to not prosecute a man he believes to be guilty. >> i thought that the record would be sealed, and would i go to my grave being the only one who knew, how it is that we had set this scenario up to get him. >> reporter: castor believes by not prosecuting a weak criminal case he strip

truth >> these documents in particular, the testimony under oath by mr. cosby they clearly would establish that with respect to that aspect,ec the drugs for sex, mr. cosby is not telling the truth. >> reporter: cosby's attorneys expressed their opposition tbyo releasing these documents d saying it would be an embarrassment to cosby and his family. in the end a judge decided to unseal a portion of the deposition. now, according to those documents cosby's lawyers insisted that at least two of the accusers knew they were taking quaaludes from the comedian. cosby has been accused by two dozen women of sexual misconduct during incidents dating back more than 40 years. still he has never been charged with the crime and thee the statute of limitations hass expired on most of the reported cases. joseph camerata says at the very least this latest development is a victory for the american legal system.te >> a jury brings together a group of citizens to determineer who is right and who is wrong. this is a right that we have as americans. so it is a victory for the public

in those debates what they talked about was embarrassment for mr. cosby. his lawyers weren't saying don't release this because it's false or inaccurate they were saying don't release this because it private and he's entitled to some zone of privacy. >> another strategy from the cosby camp could be to focus on the judge here who wrote explaining his decision to release the documents at this time after the associated press requests that mr. cosby had donned the mantle of public moralist and mounted the proverbial electronic or print soap box to volunteer his views on, among other things child rearing, family life education and crime. there are some who wonder why one judge can make this decision, and was the judge out of order of going this direction of bill cosby being a public moralist? i'm sure there are many depositions from the wealthy, celebrities and others who have been sealed who prop themselves up as a certain person but behind the scenes have done far worse. >> i think this judge's language was somewhat colorful and the logic there is somewhat nov

and she represents janice dickenson, who is suing bill cosby for defamation. and mr. defense lauch. in mess row, the last time i had you on after some of the court documents were unsealed. you said you wanted more context. here's one exchange where cosby admits to giving one woman quaaludes before having sex with her in the 1970s. this is andrea constand's attorney. the attorney asks cosby, she said she believes she was not in the position to consend to intercourse after you gave her the drug. do you believe that to be correct? koss beresponds, i don't know. tom, what do you think now? >> again, you are focusing on one quote. this is a 1,000-page deposition. my understanding is that he does in other parts of the deposition say that i never did anything that wasn't consensual. so you have to put everything in context. my understanding is he qualified statements like that repeatedly by saying i never did anything against their will f. that's true it's not as damages as you might think when you hear that kind of quote. it sounds damaging but it's not fatal if a suit goes

encountered mr. cosby in 1979 a manager at the playboy club in chicago. for joining us.your's -- you're welcome. your reaction to what bill cosby admitted under cross-examination? >> complete validation. >> to you it tells the story of what happened to lots of women? >> to me and many of us. my facebook has been lighting up all afternoon. and i can tell you, anderson that there is more women coming out now. >> really? >> yeah absolutely. absolutely. >> till meell me a little bit about what happened to you. you met him in 1979? >> i was a playboy bunny in great gorge. and bill cosby was on the playboy circuit. he performed in all of the clubs. i knew him five years even before this situation happened. i was in chicago as the bunny director, bunny mother they called it. he was being interviewed by maggie daly a famous columnist at "the trib" at the time. after he asked me if i wanted to have lunch. again, i knew him for five years. we had lunch at banquet on a bun. later that afternoon he called me on a private number in my office, i didn't understand how he

my mixed doubles partner and i, mr. cosby a bet that if my partner and i won that we would be treated to his show at the las vegas hilton that night. and i went -- my tennis partner worked at the las vegas hilton as my bad luck would have it. so he saw his show often. that is how i ended up there by myself. i did not go to party. i did not go to his hotel suite. i simple went to accept the wager that had been won to go to his show. >> gloria all of this seems to be many of the these stories in the deposition specifically there seems to be elaborate planning around these interludes, these dates are these moments cosby had with these women. and i guess when you read that legally speaking what does that tell you about the nature of what went down? >> well i do represent 17 women at this point. one of whom we're litigating a case for judy huth and that is now pending before the california supreme court. what i can say is yes he seemed very manipulative. he did sometimes choose random target, sometimes not but he did engage in pla

. >> and this confirms the susfiction of some of the accusers that mr. cosby did plan to use quaaludes in order in his words to have sex with young women. >> according to the documents cosby's lawyers insisted that the women he gave the quaaludes too knew they were taking them bruce caster said in 2005, he put in writing that they would not pursue cosby. >> i chose to clear him from the possibility of arrest and enable andrea constant then to use the civil courts to get some measure of punishment against cosby which she would not have been able to do if a threat of prosecution was heading over his head. >> a settlement was reached for an undisclosed amount. he said quote the only reason that mr. cosby settled because it would have been bearsing in those days to put all of those womens on the stand and his family had to clue. it's not likely that the release of these documents will trigger any criminal action however caster said you could go through all the documents to see if cosby or anyone else didpurger themselves. >>> a pedestrian was hit and killed by a s

mr. cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. is clear, reporters who for years failed to ask cosby the hard questions are now paying attention. and this time the story is not going away. >> we believe the women! >> reporter: when we come back? >> he drug and rained me. >> reporter: more than two dozen women come forward. and to revelations in cosby's own words about drugs and sex. i take these out... ...to put in dr. scholl's active series insoles. they help reduce wear and tear on my legs, becuase they have triple zone protection. ... and reduce shock by 40%. so i feel like i'm ready to take on anything. ♪ ♪ ♪ i've had moderate to severe plaque psoriasis most of my life. but that hasn't stopped me from modeling. my doctor told me about stelara® it helps keep my skin clearer. with only 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses... ...stelara® helps me be in season. stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and increase your risk of infections. some serious infections require hospitalization. before starting stelara® your doct

mr. cosby's answer that's her saying that. if you read, if you'll strike out what she believes then we can deal with the 0 two of us. question fine did you give her quaaludes? answer yes. question did you take quaaludes? answer no. fred that demonstrates with that particular incident a woman was taking drews and he was not. once again he said this is all consensual activity. that i did. and it's very very detailed four different deposition dates in 2005 over 1,000 pages. >> again, jean explain how it is that cnn has been able to obtain the transcripts of this deposition when it was considered sealed and had been reported for a very long time that it was sealed and now suddenly unsealed available. >> every jurisdiction does it differently but in the state of pennsylvania a court reporter takes the deposition. they don't own it. they give to it a court reporter service which then in essence owns the deposition. if you want to get any deposition you call them up and you ask for it. and they will readily give it to you. >> all rig

cosby's camp said in a statement, the only reason mr. cosby settled is because it would have been embarrassing in those days to put all those women on the stand and his family had no clue. that would have been very hurtful. cosby's lawyer tells cnn, we have no knowledge who issued the statement to abc. it was not an authorized statement from any cosby representative. the records were made public monday after the associated press went to court to compel their release. in rendering his decision the judge stated the stark contrast between bill cosby, the public moralist and bill cosby the subject of serious allegations concerning improper and perhaps criminal conduct is a matter as to which the ap and by extension the public has a significant interest. >> it's interesting to note in 2005 when andrea came forward, she filed a civil suit criminal charges were not files. bruce caster saying because she had waited a year he wouldn't be able to do tox kolgs testing. he won the have the results, the evidence. and last night on cnn, jake. he admitted he

private and embarrassed and the public's right in a interest to know particularly when he that is mr. cosby has always put himself as the judge said sorted of a public moralist. the judge also said in response to cosby's lawyers this was meant to be private, the settlement was confidential. wait a minute. that's true. it came to me at the time it was settled and asked me at that time to seal the transcript. i'm not going to hear you say it's up for discussion now and he released it. the lawyers are reeling as a result of this. but, of course, the larger question becomes what now can to be done? and clearly there are two courts there. there's the court of public opinion, and i think certainly public opinion has changed drastically given his own revelations and obviously we live in a country you're innocent until proven guilty. we get that and understand that. but when you have someone making stunning admissions as he has in this deposition that's now out to the light of day it certainly is changing the minds of many in terms of what they thought in public opinion. in terms of what can to be

. >> i'm here as counsel for mr. cosby a visible pivot for bill cosby's legal team mounting a defense across television and newspapers. >> if one is getting away with lodging ake inging accusations with no proof, then two can. >> reporter: lashing out in this legal filing blasting the media's one sided reporting. writing media immediately pounced on cosby's deposition from 2005. the media painting him as a rapist when he admitted to introducing quaaludes into their consensual sex life. a drug dubbed disco biscuits, one popular and recreational. cosby's lawyers seeking to turn the tide against a tsunami of public accusations. >> we will pursue mr. cosby until the full truth comes out. >> reporter: women like beth one of more than two dozen women from asacross the country sharing their stories that span decades accusing cosby of drugging and raping them. president obama even weighing in on the use of drugs on women. >> have sex with that person without consent, that's rape. >> reporter: the once revered comedian now a punch

putting on my hat as criminal defense attorney or someone defending mr. cosbytanding from portions of the transcript is that he was asked did you give it to this person who this lawsuit was about and he said yes and she took it and we took it together. >> and then asked about others and the lawyer didn't let him answer that question. the lawyer was like real damage is being done here. here we are today. >> that is what a lawyer is supposed to be doing. >> i'm blaming the lawyer for not objecting earlier although i'm glad we know what appears to be the truth about bill cosby. >>> this college quarterback is caught punching a woman in the face. his lawyer goes on the today show and says she hit him first. he claimed she kneed him in the groin and she punched him first. family members of the quarterback are asking that she be charged. >> did he need to strike back when you watch this video tape? that's not the answer. the answer is for him to get the help that he needs to continue saying what he did was completely wrong, it was criminal no legal justification for

>> in terms of your experience with mr. cosby. >> i'm not sure what you mean. >> in terms of the encounter you had and the details and the m.o. he's alleged to have that appears the this documents, which aspects of it were similar to what you say you have experienced. >> i knew bill cosby for five years before the rape happened. is he invited me to dinner in chicago. he told me to meet him at the white hall hotel, which i did. i went upstairs and there were four other men in the room. they were drinking, watching sports. cosby asked if i wanted to have a cocktail. i wasn't much of a drinker. so said i would have a grand marnier. he sent the bellman for a bottle. i took two sips and the that's the last i remember until 4:00 in the porning. i woke up. i was bruised, battered raped, naked. he was in the bed next to me. i slithered out of bed, got my clothes on. got in a cab, went home and took a shower, completely flipped out. i had to go to work at playboy. i told my bosses what he did to me. i was told bill cosby was hugh hefner's

however, when you listen to the denial of the accusations by mr. cosbyatedly from the beginning that's looked at and scoffed. to me -- >> so why did he get seven presiptions for quaaludes. that sounds like more than just one woman that he offered a quaalude to. that sounds like he wanted to give them to women and in his own words he says they were for the purpose of giving to women plural. >> and what you're discussing is not a crime for a person to offer a substance in a consensual relationship to a person with knowledge, and for them to choose to accept it is not cr

hearing mr. cosbyng that he procured drugs for the purpose of getting women to be sexually submissive. and i would add, he admits that he lied to a doctor to get a prescription for quaaludes, that he did not intend to use for himself, he intended to give to another person. that is of course illegal and that's lying to a doctor. he also admits a pattern and practice of covering up so his wife wouldn't find out. here's a man admitting under oath to manipulating and to lying and he hasn't shown up for a deposition in our case because now we know he has tough choices when he's faced with a deposition. number one, he can perjure himself, two, answer questions honestly or number three, not show up and have his lawyers throw a lot of smoke. that's what they are trying to do at this point. >> again, just to button this, the attorneys are making no comment, jean bill cosby has said nothing and even through all of the recent revelations with the depositions, camille cosby, his wife said nothing, right? >> not si

>> mrs. cosby. >> has cosby made any comments since this full deposition was made public?lic relations managers said no comment but he really can't comment because he is part of a confidential settlement agreement on this suit closing him from ever talking about it. ironically before a court now there is a motion to lift the veil from that confidentiality agreement because it is the contention of andrea constand's attorney that cosby and his attorney since last fall when all these women came out have made so many comments about the other women that the veil should be lifted in the constand case. >> joining me now is cnn legal analyst sonny has tin. criminal defense attorney mark geragos. sonny, you are reading this deposition as a former prosecutor who prosecuted sex crimes. is this familiar territory? >> it was. it was remarkable. it is a very long deposition 1,000 pages. i spent most of the day reading it. what was fascinating to me is it reminded me of those days when i cross-examined defendants and they said she wanted it she consented to it. and i had in my folder pic
