The New York Times has obtained the full transcript of Cosby's 2005 deposition, in which he was questioned in the case of a woman who accused him of drugging and molesting her.
In it, Cosby admitted to obtaining sedatives to use on young women he wanted to have sex with.
The Times reports that during the 2005 case involving a woman named Andrea Constand, Cosby denied sexually assaulting the woman, "but did acknowledge he had used powerful sedatives to lure women for sex and employed multiple strategies to keep his wife, Camille, from finding out."
Details of the questioning show Cosby in an unflattering light, according to the Times, as the comedian spoke "with causal disregard" about his various pursuits of young women.
In the 2005 deposition, Cosby, at times, appeared confident in his encounter with Constand, calling himself a "decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things."
Cosby describes how he walked Constand out after the encounter, having not perceived it as anything less than consensual:
"She does not look angry. She does not say to me don't ever do that again. She does not walk out with an attitude of a huff."
Cosby allegedly used similar methods with the young women he pursued - many of whom were aspiring models and actresses - often offering to mentor them and give career advice.
Dozens of women have come forward with accusations since last year. Cosby has publicly denied any wrongdoing.
