Law & Crime reports:

An accuser who says Bill Cosby drugged and sexually abused her during a purported mentorship that began on the set of his popular television show has filed a $225 million civil suit in federal court.

Documents obtained by Law & Crime say Lili Bernard, whose name has long been publicly associated with accusations against Cosby, is alleging claims of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment.

Bernard is seeking “no less than” $25 million on the four core accusations and $125 million in punitive damages. The lawsuit alleges that Cosby “sexually assaulted, battered, and drugged Ms. Bernard on additional occasions.”
