Los Angeles artist Lili Bernard told The Associated Press she was prompted in part by Cosby's recent release from prison.
PHILADELPHIA — A prominent Bill Cosby accuser filed suit Thursday against the actor over a 1990 hotel room encounter in Atlantic City, New Jersey, before the state's two-year window to file older sexual assault claims expires.
“When Bill Cosby was released, it retraumatized me, it terrified me. I was really horrified for any woman or girl that would come into contact with him," Bernard told the AP. “The Pennsylvania Supreme Court let a predator back on the streets.” “This is just another attempt to abuse the legal process, by opening up the flood gates for people who never presented an ounce of evidence," spokesperson Andrew Wyatt said, noting that Cosby maintains his innocence and would fight allegations to “the highest court in these United States of America.”
