Bill Cosby's lawyers ask judge to keep settlement sealed

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Lawyers for Bill Cosby argue in a new court filing his admission he used quaaludes in the 1970s doesn't mean he drugged and sexually assaulted women.

The lawyers today asked a court to preserve the confidentiality of his 2006 settlement in a sexual-battery lawsuit.

Cosby's lawyers are attacking the weekend release of his deposition by a court reporting service. They say the deposition and other filings unsealed this month have led to inaccurate reports branding the Philadelphia native a rapist.

They insist the married Cosby only admitted having consensual sex with other women.

More than two dozen women have come forward to accuse the 78-year-old Cosby of molesting them. The former star of the hit sitcom "The Cosby Show" has not been charged with a crime.
