rnrnAn alleged victim of Bill Cosby testified before lawmakers on Friday in support of arnNevada bill that will eliminate the statute of limitations in rape cases. According to the LasrnVegas Review-Journal,  rnrnLise-Lotte Lublin rndid not mention Cosby by name; however, her testimony left no question she wasrnspeaking of the comedian. rnLublin detailed to lawmakers rnthe sexual assault she alleges happened 25 years ago. Although the accuser says itrnis too late for her to seek justice, she wants other victims to have the opportunity. I will neverrnsee justice. And I didn’t do anything wrong. If I had had an idea of what had happened, Irnwould have filed a report 25 years ago. I now understand that the law prevents the victim in myrncircumstances from seeking justice. Why would the law want to prevent me from seeking justice? Sornwho is protecting the victim? The law is on his side. Over rn30 women have come forward rnsince November to accuse Bill Cosby of drugging and sexual assault. The majority ofrnthese allegations fall outside of the time required to report a sexual assault, so Cosby will notrnface criminal charges. Three of the women filed a defamation lawsuit against the comedian. rnCosby’s attorneys rnrecently asked the judge in the case to throw the suit out as their client didrnnothing wrong when denying the sexual assault allegations lodged against him by the women involved.rn
