Newly surfaced court documents show that Bill Cosby admitted to obtaining prescriptions for drugs to give to women that he wanted to have sex with.

Back in 2005, Cosby found himself at the center of a lawsuit in which a former Temple University employee was accusing the comedian of drugging and sexually assaulting her.

And just today, a Pennsylvania judge ruled that 16 documents pertaining to the case could be unsealed.

The paperwork details Cosby's deposition, including the moment when he was asked by the woman's attorney, "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 replied, "Yes."

The 77-year-old also testified that he gave the female alleging the assault three half-pills of Benadryl.

The star also attested to purchasing a total of six prescriptions of Quaaludes back in 1976—the year that the alleged sexual assault described in the lawsuit took place.

Per the documents, he also recalled an encounter in the 1970s in Las Vegas with a woman whose name was redacted. "She meets me back stage. I give her Quaaludes. We then have sex," he's quoted as saying.

Cosby was ultimately not charged in connection with these claims and this case was dismissed with prejudice one year after his deposition.

The latest Cosby bombshell comes just weeks after a pre-taped interview on ABC's Good Morning America where he tried to dodge questions regarding the many allegations made against him.

During the sit-down, he was asked how he felt the younger generation is responding to the ongoing scandal surrounding the star.

"I think many of them say, 'Well, you're a hypocrite. You say one thing. You say the other.' My point is, 'OK, listen to me carefully. I'm telling you where the road is out. You want to go here or you want to be concerned about who is giving you the message?'"

Cosby, who has never been criminally charged, continued, "I have been in this business 52 years and I've never seen anything like this. Reality is the situation and I can't speak. I really don't know about what I'm going to do tomorrow. I have a ton of ideas to put on television about people and their love for each other."
