The deposition I linked is Constands Vs. Cosby and that is who had the charges filed that led to his arrest. His comments WILL be used against him.

It's about time! How many victims did they need before they arrested him? Again, if Cosby wasn't rich he would have been arrested a long time ago. Just another example of how the rich and powerful get preferential treatment!

Convicted in the court of media and public opinion… Lock him up and throw away the key, huh?
If he was so innocent why did he settle monetarily with some of the victims?
Spare me your feigned righteous indignation.

For the same reason you pay a speeding ticket rather than fight it when you know you were not speeding.
It will cost you more time and money than if you simply just pay it and move on.
Now I am not saying the man is innocent. Where there is smoke, you usually find fire and this dude is smoking, but him paying people off does not necessarily equal guilt.

According to law, he's innocent until proven guilty.
Read the above deposition, he has already admitted to using drugs for sex.
If he is acquitted, you could be sued for defamation. Perhaps the wisest course would have been to wait until he is convicted and then let the invective fly.
I will take my chances with Mr. soon to be spending the rest of his life in prison serial rapist.
I wonder why the accusations did not surface immediately when there would have been sufficient evidence to convict. Now all we have is largely hearsay, physical trace is gone.
In some cases the police and prosecutors ignored the reports.

He admitted to buying drugs for women he had sex with. That is different from using the drugs to procure sex.
Cosby has previously said what happened between him and Constand was consensual, but in new court filings last summer Constand said she was in a relationship with a woman at the time. She also called Cosby a "narcissist" who missed cues that she's gay.
The statute of limitations to charge Cosby runs out in January.
Troiani exclusively told PEOPLE in September that if prosecutors decided to arrest Cosby for the alleged assault, Constand would fully cooperate.
