A former "Cosby Show" actress claiming she was sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby recently spent hours meeting with New Jersey police in hopes of convincing them to seek charges against the famed comedian.

According to The Press of Atlantic City, Lili Bernard, who played eccentric school teacher Mrs. Minifield on the show during the early 1990s, told police Cosby drugged and raped her more than 20 years ago, and she still has the evidence to prove it.

Over the last several weeks, the New York Daily News reported Bernard also claimed Cosby won her trust by acting as a mentor to her, only to totally betray it by later drugging and assaulting her.

"Bill Cosby mentored me," she said. "He told me, 'You're one of my kids, Bernard.' He praised me. ... He lifted me up and I believed him. After all, he was Bill Cosby."

Dozens of other women have recently stepped forward to lodge similar accusations, all of which, through his attorneys, have been vehemently denied by the 77-year-old comedian. In almost all the other cases, the statute of limitations for filing any criminal charges had long since expired. Not so in New Jersey, where there are no such laws on the books.

"We feel the Atlantic City police took it seriously," Bernard's attorney Gloria Allred said of the more than five hours she and her client spent meeting with Atlantic City police.

Bernard stressed she's now coming forward as an example to her 6-year-old daughter: "to stand in truth and to say that I've survived Bill Cosby drugging and raping me."

Following the alleged 1992 incident, Bernard recalls she became "highly suicidal" and was once assigned to a trauma therapist that she met with five days a week.

To this day, the married mother of six insists she still suffers "panic attacks and night terrors." Cosby is also being sued by three women for defamation and another who claims he assaulted her when she was just 15-years-old.

Earlier this year, NBC executives canceled a sitcom they had planned for him, and a month later all the bad publicity forced him to resign as a Temple University trustee.
