LAPD has an active investigation into Bill Cosby
See this post in Video and Multimedia: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017277933
The Los Angeles Police Department said it will explore any sexual assault accusations against embattled TV star and comedian Bill Cosby, including accusations for which the statute of limitations has expired.
The LAPD’s statement to ABC News that there is an open criminal investigation for Cosby comes two days after the release of a court filing in which Cosby seemingly admitted to giving a Quaalude to a woman he met in Las Vegas before they had sex.
Cosby is quoted as saying in a deposition in 2005 that he obtained prescriptions for Quaaludes with the idea that he would give them to women with whom he wanted to have sex.
The quote appears in a plaintiff’s motion filed as part of a civil case against Cosby for alleged sexual abuse, which he settled in 2006 for an undisclosed amount.
