Bill Cosby (84) has been charged again with rape. Lili Bernard, who also had a role on The Cosby Show, claims to have been drugged and raped by the actor in 1990. CNN reports this based on statements from the actress.
ACCUSATION
Bernard (57) says that Cosby wanted to be some kind of mentor for her. He would have said he wanted to be a kind of father to the aspiring actress. Cosby then invited her to a meeting with a producer, where he allegedly drugged and raped Bernard. In addition, Cosby would have grabbed her breasts during a voice exercise.
Actress Lili Bernard filed a lawsuit against Bill Cosby on Thursday, alleging he drugged and raped her in Atlantic City in or around August 1990, according to court documents. https://t.co/pwPT9LFVUn

LAWYER RESPONSE
Cosby’s attorney Andrew Wyatt said the charges are “another attempt to abuse the legal process and open doors for people who have never had a shred of evidence”.
Cosby has recently been released after a judge ruled that the trial against him had been ‘unfair’. It also recently came out that he would be working on a new TV series again.
