Kobe is an adulterer...at a minimum
- Thread starter OPTIONAL777
- Start date
I thought Kobe was likely to skate on these charges, and that it was possible the prosecutor would even drop them before trial in light of the victim's troubled history.
I've changed my mind. I think he gets convicted, and that likely means hard time for him. She apparently had facial cuts or bruises., consistent with being slapped around, and also internal injuries. A local jury will bury him when they hear this.

Quote from Rearden Metal:
Now I could be wrong (it has happened once or twice in the past)
but this whole thing looks like a total hatchet job against an innocent man by a wannabe celebrity 19 year old girl (did she think he invited her to his hotel room to play charades?!), and an overzealous and overambitious D.A. trying to make his career.
Just by alleging sexual assult this woman is an automatic wealthy celebrity. Between book deals & playboy photoshoots, and god knows what else people will now pay her to do. Remember that bitch Kylie Ireland? She trashed Michael Jordan's good name...and then went on to be a highly paid porn star in 'Face Jam' (spoofing Jordan's 'Space Jam'). This smells like the same kind of bullshit.
Total hatchet job...and I told you so last year.
Lab Results Counter Bryant Accuser's Story

Kobe has an unlimited budget team of lawyers and publicists working desperately to spin this thing. His lawyers' tactics have been despicable and many judges would not have tolerated it. Apparently he has the good fortune to have some weak, Lance Itoh type weenie judge who seems intimidated by Kobe's high profile team. Bottom line, we don't know what happened or what the evidence will ultimately show. The girl apparently had signs of being roughed up when she left his room. Put that before a local jury and this other stuff can be forgotten awfully quickly.
In any event, the fact that she had sex with someone else has nothing to do with whether or not he is guilty. And we know from our last President that "everyone lies about sex."

It has everything to do with it.

From the article:
If the woman did have consensual sex soon after she said she was raped by Bryant, then she also would have lied to police who were investigating the case.

I think they are trying to shoot her credibility down first. They manage that, her whole case falls apart.

Apparently creditiblity is not an issue with AAA. She can lie all she wants to the investigative authorities and Grand Jury and it has "nothing to with whether or not he is guilty"

First of all, youhave no way of knowing what she told the authorities, what happened in the room or what she did or didn't do afterwards. My main point is that Kobe has a megabucks defense team that has left no stone unturned in smearing this woman. I say let's wait for the actual trial rather than let him off and convict her on the basis of media leaks and speculation.
As for how relevant her having sex is, there are many facets to it. If she lied about it, that certainly undermines her credibility, but under the circumstances, perhaps it could be explained away. BTW, the reports are that Kobe also lied to investigators. Does that mean he is automatically guilty?
Clearly, her having consensual sex later does not rule out Kobe forcing himself on her. It does appear somewhat unseemly, and Kobe's attorneys are banking on that. Kobe could end up with a phyrric victory here however if he wins by trashing this girl. Win or lose, he comes across as another spoiled jerk pro athlete who regards women as kleenex.
