In reply to Anne.

He admitted to giving them drugs period, he didn't directly address whether or not it was by request, with knowledge or with consent. Apparently his lawyers claimed at least two accusers at the time knew they were taking something. Some of them said the willingly drank something before the unexpected effects. Also, some of them DID report it to the police when it occurred. Due to Cosby's influence these accusations were brushed under the rug for decades. But I realize some people don't care or somehow still think he's innocent. Whatever...to each his own.
