BILL Cosby admitted having sex with teenage girls who were paid hush money to stop his wife finding out, court evidence revealed on Tuesday.
The millionaire US sitcom star, 78, has been accused of sexual assault by nearly 60 women in incidents stretching back five decades.
His admission was made under oath in 2005-06 when he made an undisclosed settlement after being sued by alleged victim Andrea Constand.
It emerged as a hearing began in Pennsylvania to rule if a criminal case over claims the father-of-five drugged and molested Miss Constand, 43, in 2004 should go to trial.
In the transcript obtained by the Press Association, Cosby admitted he used a sedative on young women he wanted to sleep with.
He also revealed an agency would send ‘five or six’ models a week to his studio.
Cosby has always denied the allegations and has never been charged.
