Bill Cosby Survivor Lili Bernard: Women Who Report Sexual Assault Are Often "Re-Raped" in Court
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#3ZNM8)
Bill Cosby rape survivor Lili Bernard joins us to respond to President Trump's dismissal of sexual assault allegations against himself and his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh ahead of today's hearing in which his accuser, Dr. Christine Ford, is set to testify. "Never in my life would I have imagined that the same week in which my serial rapist " is entered into a state penitentiary for years, that the nominated Supreme Court justice would be in a hearing where he has to face questions about sexual assault," Bernard says. She is a visual artist and actor who has accused Bill Cosby of drugging and raping her in the early 1990s when he mentored her in preparation for her guest-starring role on "The Cosby Show."
