Bill Cosby Calls Himself ‘Dirty Old Man’ In Sexual Assault Trial Transcript

Bill Cosby endured his own police statement being read back to him on the stand during his rape trial in Pennsylvania — as the comic admitted to being "a dirty old man!"

“I’m apologizing because this is a dirty old man with a young girl,” said Cosby in his original deposition after being accused of drugging and sexually assaulting plaintiff Andrea Constand in 2004. Montgomery County police officer James Reape read the transcript from Cosby's statement to police as officers first investigated the incident, including calls that Cosby made to Andrea's mother where he offered to pay for her going back to college!

“My apology was I’m in trouble with these people," Cosby explained to police, according to the statement — with the comic adding: “Andrea and I had sex, and now Andrea was very upset.” The embarrassing transcript also included Cosby expressing his concerns that Andrea would speak out and ruin his reputation as America's Favorite Dad. “To be perfectly frank,” said Cosby about his conversations with Andrea's family, “I’m thinking and praying that no one is recording.”

In fact, Gianna Constand was taping her conversations with Cosby — including an offer by the comic to “set up something” for her daughter. That same conversation included the offer to pay for Andrea attending graduate school. The tapes by Andrea's mother, as also revealed at trial, including Cosby saying: “I never used the word ‘hush money.’”

Legal insiders believe that statement by Cosby will make it difficult for the defense to accuse Andrea's family of attempting to blackmail the comic — now facing a prison sentence after multiple women accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting them over his decades of stardom. In a sad twist, his call to Andrea's mother even had the comic attempting a joke at the end, with Cosby saying their tense talk was “the best two hours I’ve ever spent.”
