A woman who claims she was assaulted by Bill Cosby has asked law-makers in Nevada to repeal the statute of limitations on reporting such crimes.<\/p>\n

Lise-Lotte Lublin says she passed out after the comedian gave her two alcoholic drinks in 1989.<\/p>\n

She tried to file a police complaint in January, after hearing similar allegations and concluding something had happened while she was unconscious.<\/p>\n

But she was told victims were required to file a report within four years.<\/p>\n

“I now understand that the law prevents the victim in my circumstances from seeking justice,” she told a Judiciary Committee on Friday. “Why would the law want to prevent me from seeking justice?”<\/p>\n

“Who is protecting the victim?” she continued. “The law is on his side.”<\/p>\n

She asked legislators to repeal the law in order to protect future victims.<\/p>\n

\"Bill<\/div>\n
Cosby has denied all allegations against him<\/div>\n

Even if her request was successful, Lublin would not benefit, as any change to the law would not be retrospective.<\/p>\n

“I want to empower victims, period,” she said, “regardless of what happens for me.”<\/p>\n

Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams, who is sponsoring the bill, said it was necessary because women face major emotional trauma following a sexual assault, and it can take years before they feel comfortable with contacting the police.<\/p>\n

Judiciary chairman Ira Hansen asked that Cosby not be named during Lublin’s testimony, saying the hearing was not a trial.<\/p>\n

However, Lublin had made her allegations public in February at a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, who represents several of Cosby’s accusers.<\/p>\n

Allred also testified for the bill, as did Lublin’s husband, Benjamin.<\/p>\n

More than 20 women have come forward in recent months to level various accusations against Cosby, ranging from unwanted advances to sexual assault.<\/p>\n

The comedian has not been charged in any of the cases, and has denied the allegations against him.<\/p>\n

A publicist for the star did not respond to requests for comment on Lublin’s testimony.<\/p>\n
