 The woman whose lawsuit led a federal judge Monday to unseal a 2005 deposition in which Bill Cosby testified that he gave a woman drugs before sex may ask the judge to unseal all of Cosby's testimony, sources told NBC News on Tuesday. 
 
 Dolores Troiani, the attorney for the main plaintiff in the suit — which was dismissed in 2006 — is making contact with 13 other women in the case to make sure they're OK with the request to release the full deposition, the sources said. 
 
 Cosby's lawyers had fought to keep the documents secret, saying they would be "terribly embarrassing." 
 
 More than a dozen women have accused Cosby since then of having sexually assaulted them. Cosby, 77, who has never been charged with a crime, denies the allegations and is trying to get several court cases thrown out. 
 
 But documents unsealed Monday in Pennsylvania showed that Cosby admitted in the 2005 deposition that he obtained prescriptions of the powerful sedative methaqualone, better known by the brand name Quaalude, to give to women he wanted to have sex with.

 Cosby recounted one encounter in the 1970s in Las Vegas with a woman whose name was redacted in the document: "She meets me back stage. I give her Quaaludes. We then have sex." 
 
 The documents were unsealed after a victorious court fight by The Associated Press. U.S. District Judge Eduardo C. Robreno said Monday he granted the AP's request because of the disconnect between Cosby's upright public persona and the serious allegations against him.

 "The testimony about quaaludes and the alleged provision of money or educational funds is quintessentially the kind of evidence that causes 'unfair prejudice,'" Cosby's lawyers wrote in advance of a hearing on the issue Monday. 
 
 Cosby acknowledged in a decade-old deposition that he gave one woman quaaludes and a string of women alcohol or pills before sex. He also said that he offered some women money or an education fund. 
 
 However, Common Pleas Judge Steven O'Neill has ruled that most of them can't testify, so the defense wants his deposition testimony about them excluded as well. 
 
 Cosby, 79, is charged with drugging and molesting Andrea Constand, a then-Temple University basketball team manager, in 2004. 
 
 Dozens of other women have made similar accusations, but O'Neill will allow only one of them to testify, a woman who worked for his agent and said she was drugged and assaulted in 1996. She is not part of the deposition because she had not yet come forward. 
 
 Cosby, in the deposition, said he had gotten seven prescriptions for quaaludes in the 1970s to give women before sex. He said he did not use quaaludes or other drugs himself. The powerful sedative was banned in the U.S. in 1983, and Cosby said he no longer had any on hand when he befriended Constand 20 years later. 
 
 "Quaaludes have not been available in this country for two decades," lawyers Brian McMonagle and Angela Agrusa wrote in the filing. "Any discussion of quaaludes would only divert the jury away from its duty of weighing the evidence as to Ms. Constand, the only alleged victim." 
 
 Cosby offered Constand an educational fund in a taped phone call made days after she accused him of sexual misconduct in early 2005. Constand's mother told him they just wanted an apology. Constand then went to police, and sued Cosby when prosecutors at the time declined to press charges. A new prosecutor reopened the case in 2015 after Cosby's deposition became public and more women came forward. 
 
 The trial is set to start June 5 in Montgomery County, outside of Philadelphia. Cosby has pleaded not guilty. O'Neill has said the jury can hear the taped phone call. ||||| PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Here are the latest developments from the release of court documents indicating Bill Cosby admitted in 2005 that he obtained quaaludes with the intent of giving them to women with whom he wanted to have sex (all times local):

 Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program is considering removing a work featuring entertainer Bill Cosby, the latest fallout from allegations he drugged and sexually assaulted women. 
 
 An organization spokeswoman said Wednesday "recent headlines" factored into its decision to move the mural much higher on a list of works up for decommissioning. 
 
 The North Philadelphia mural celebrating Father's Day features Cosby in a trademark purple sweater between South African leader Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. It went up in 2008 but had already been considered for decommissioning because the wall under a train bridge where it's painted is in bad shape. 
 
 The spokeswoman says no one's called to complain. 
 
 In newly unsealed documents, Cosby is shown testifying in 2005 that he'd obtained quaaludes with the intent of giving them to women before sex. A judge unsealed excerpts from Cosby's deposition after a request by The Associated Press.

 Bill Cosby's first accuser says his full deposition in her sexual assault lawsuit should be released because he broke the confidentiality pledge sealing their court settlement. 
 
 The sanctions motion Wednesday comes after a judge unsealed excerpts from Cosby's deposition this week in response to an Associated Press request. 
 
 Former Temple University employee Andrea Constand's 2005 lawsuit accuses Cosby of drugging and molesting her at his home. 
 
 Her lawyer argues that Cosby's camp has commented over the years and again this week on the case while Constand has been forced to remain silent. 
 
 She says Cosby lawyer Patrick O'Connor said this past year: "If he's innocent and the relations were consensual — wow." 
 
 O'Connor did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

 Whoopi Goldberg has emerged as Bill Cosby's most prominent public defender this week and she has an angry message for her critics: Back off! 
 
 Goldberg says Wednesday on ABC's "The View" that she's gotten threats since she expressed support for Cosby on the show the previous day. 
 
 Goldberg says she takes rape and sexual assault very seriously but also believes in the principle of innocent until proven guilty. 
 
 She says: "He has not been taken to jail or tried on anything." She adds: "So back off me." 
 
 When sexual assault allegations against Cosby resurfaced last winter, Goldberg said she would be reserving judgment on him. 
 
 Documents unsealed Monday show Cosby admitted in 2005 to obtaining powerful sedatives with the intent of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with.

 A supermodel who accused Bill Cosby of drugging her during an audition for his 1980s sitcom says testimony excerpts unsealed this week give accusers a sense of peace and validation. 
 
 Beverly Johnson says Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show that she knew that after so many women came forward and told their story that the truth would come to light. 
 
 Cosby admitted in 2005 to obtaining quaaludes to give to young women he wanted to have sex with. 
 
 The entertainer acknowledged giving the now-banned sedative to people, including a 19-year-old woman before they had sex in Las Vegas in 1976. 
 
 Johnson says she managed to get Cosby to back off. 
 
 She doesn't feel vindication but is encouraged by accusers speaking out.

 Los Angeles police say they are still investigating a model's allegations that Bill Cosby drugged and sexually abused her at the Playboy Mansion in 2008. 
 
 Officer Jane Kim said Wednesday that its inquiry into model Chloe Goins' allegations against Cosby is ongoing. No further details were available about the case, which is the only one the department is actively investigating against the 77-year-old comedian. 
 
 Police opened their investigation in January after Goins met with detectives at the department's downtown Los Angeles headquarters. 
 
 Goins says Cosby drugged and accosted her in a bedroom of the mansion in August 2008. Cosby's attorney, however, released a statement denying his client was in Los Angeles at the time. 
 
 An email message to Cosby's attorney wasn't immediately returned Wednesday. ||||| Breaking News Emails Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings. 
 
 NORRISTOWN, Pa. — As Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial opened Monday, there was a reminder of his former reputation as "America's Dad" — the actress who played his youngest daughter on TV. 
 
 Keshia Knight Pulliam, 38, who played Rudy Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," accompanied the comedian into the Montgomery County courthouse, where he stands accused of drugging and molesting a woman at his home in 2004.

 Neither Cosby nor Pulliam spoke as they entered. 
 
 Gloria Allred, the attorney who represents some of the dozens of women who have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct, called it an "historic day." 
 
 "It's the first time Mr. Cosby will have to face his accusers in criminal court," Allred said. 
 
 A handful of those women traveled to be at the green-domed courthouse in small-town Pennsylvania. 
 
 "I haven't seen him since 1969," said Victoria Valentino, 74, who says Cosby drugged and raped her in Los Angeles nearly five decades ago. 
 
 "I hope he makes eye contact because I'd love to look him in the eye and stare him down."

 Cosby, 79, is on trial for allegedly assaulting just one woman, Andrea Constand, who worked for his alma mater, Temple University. 
 
 She claims that after two years of friendship and mentorship, the star turned predator, giving her pills that incapacitated her and then molesting her while she lay "paralyzed." 
 
 Cosby has portrayed the encounter as consensual, saying he gave Constand two Benadryl pills to help her relax. He has pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated indecent assault, denied all other allegations and sued some of his accusers for defamation. 
 
 The "I Spy" actor, who says glaucoma has left him legally blind, does not intend to take the stand. Constand, who settled a lawsuit against Cosby in 2006, will testify. Other potential witnesses include: 
 
 Prior Alleged Victim No. 6: Also known by the pseudonym Kacey, she is the only one of the other accusers who can testify. A former assistant to Cosby's late agent, she alleges that in 1996, after Cosby insisted she take a pill, she woke up in bed with the half-naked entertainer. 
 
 An unnamed William Morris Agency employee who the defense contends can contradict Kacey's account of her interaction with Cosby. 
 
 A psychologist who will discuss the behavior of sex-abuse victims. Prosecutors may use her testimony to try to explain why Constand waited a year to report the alleged assault to police. 
 
 Pharmaceutical experts who will testify about the effects of Benadryl and Quaaludes, the latter of which Cosby has admitted he gave to women for sex in the 1970s. 
 
 Although the jury was chosen in the Pittsburgh area, the trial is taking place in Montgomery County in the Philadelphia suburb of Norristown. 
 
 Barricades ringed the columned courthouse on Sunday night in anticipation of big crowds, but as of 7 a.m., there were only a few spectators lined up to get in. 
 
 Bill Parker, 43, who owns a donut shop said the he thought the trial "would be an incredible event to witness." 
 
 "He has been an idol to us," Parker said. "To hear the accusations was quite a shocker." 
 
 Parker said he was "trying to remain neutral" on the question of whether Cosby attacked Constand. "But I'm already disappointed he confessed to extramarital affairs," he said. "It doesn't connect with the man we thought he was." 
 
 Other local residents said they had not paid much attention to the legal drama that had played out at the courthouse over the last year. 
 
 "I don't know what's happening," said one 15-year-old walking by the stately building. "Who is Bill Cosby?"
– The bombshell testimony in which Bill Cosby admitted to drugging women before having sex with them might not be the last we hear from the comedian in regards to the sex-assault case. A lawyer for the plaintiff in the lawsuit—which was settled before trial in 2006—says she may ask the judge to release all of Cosby's testimony related to the suit, NBC News reports. Sources say Dolores Troiani, representing former Temple University employee Andrea Constand, is reaching out to 13 other women in the case for their approval before requesting the judge unseal the full 2005 deposition. The AP confirms that the documents that were unsealed Monday following its request "include only small portions of Cosby's September 2005 deposition testimony." It notes the deposition was never filed in court. While at least one celeb has done an about-face on Cosby, Whoopi Goldberg says Cosby is "innocent until proven guilty," per the Washington Post. "He has not been proven a rapist." However, a bronze statue of the comedian was removed from Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios after closing yesterday. A niece of one of Cosby's alleged victims started a petition seven months ago calling on Disney to remove the bust from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame Plaza, reports WESH. It had been signed by about 250 supporters. "To not be able to walk through Disney without having that difficult encounter, it makes me sad," the woman says. "Like, wow, this person hurt a family member of mine." Disney didn't say why the bust was removed.
