Air carrier CV60 flight crew took evasive action climb turn during takeoff climb due to other aircraft on runway. Apparently ATC did not observe or recognize other aircraft had entered runway for departure.

Narrative:
On jun/xa/98 at XA50Z, while performing first officer duties on a convair 600 at cvg, we were cleared for takeoff on runway 18L. I applied takeoff power while the captain verified full power. At 80 KTS the captain called V1/rotate and while rotating the aircraft, the captain called 'I have the aircraft,' and abruptly pulled the aircraft up and to the right. Looking out the front left window I saw a twin cessna on the centerline of the runway facing in the same direction holding approximately midway down the runway. I estimate we cleared the twin cessna by approximately 50-100 ft vertically. The captain asked the tower to verify cleared for takeoff and the controller said 'you're airborne aren't you?' the captain said 'there's another guy on the runway' and after a long pause, the controller asked if we were ok. After verifying that we were, the controller said 'sorry about that' and another controller came on and cleared us to departure frequency. Contributing factors: 1) allowing intersection takeoffs. 2) poor lighting on cessna (white light on tail at night). No strobes on at that time.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ACR CV60 FLC TOOK EVASIVE ACTION CLB TURN DURING TKOF CLB DUE TO OTHER ACFT ON RWY. APPARENTLY ATC DID NOT OBSERVE OR RECOGNIZE OTHER ACFT HAD ENTERED RWY FOR DEP.
Narrative: ON JUN/XA/98 AT XA50Z, WHILE PERFORMING FO DUTIES ON A CONVAIR 600 AT CVG, WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF ON RWY 18L. I APPLIED TKOF PWR WHILE THE CAPT VERIFIED FULL PWR. AT 80 KTS THE CAPT CALLED V1/ROTATE AND WHILE ROTATING THE ACFT, THE CAPT CALLED 'I HAVE THE ACFT,' AND ABRUPTLY PULLED THE ACFT UP AND TO THE R. LOOKING OUT THE FRONT L WINDOW I SAW A TWIN CESSNA ON THE CTRLINE OF THE RWY FACING IN THE SAME DIRECTION HOLDING APPROX MIDWAY DOWN THE RWY. I ESTIMATE WE CLRED THE TWIN CESSNA BY APPROX 50-100 FT VERTLY. THE CAPT ASKED THE TWR TO VERIFY CLRED FOR TKOF AND THE CTLR SAID 'YOU'RE AIRBORNE AREN'T YOU?' THE CAPT SAID 'THERE'S ANOTHER GUY ON THE RWY' AND AFTER A LONG PAUSE, THE CTLR ASKED IF WE WERE OK. AFTER VERIFYING THAT WE WERE, THE CTLR SAID 'SORRY ABOUT THAT' AND ANOTHER CTLR CAME ON AND CLRED US TO DEP FREQ. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1) ALLOWING INTXN TKOFS. 2) POOR LIGHTING ON CESSNA (WHITE LIGHT ON TAIL AT NIGHT). NO STROBES ON AT THAT TIME.
