This is my opinion...

Kobe Bryant is a Nasty man, when the "19" Year Old Woman/Girl said NO, don't do that, Kobe who is much older and a MARRIED man should have STOPPED.

He is NOT even the least bit ASHAMED of Himself and His Behavior...He Cheated on His WIFE and FAMILY.

He LOST control of himself, and took what he wanted.

And as for the "19" Year Old Woman/Girl...She should NEVER have been in Kobe's Bed Room/Hotel Room to begin with.

She could have refused to go and she should have asked the Hotel Management to send a Male Employee up to Kobe's Room.

That would have Prevented her and Kobe from being in this situation and big mess in the first place.

Morality, Decency, Respect for Self and others in America is almost NON - Existent.

GOD HELP US.

Agree with your analysis. But we will never know the actual level of conscent given/taken.

My concern is that we create situations were the charge is so horrible that the accused can not face thier accuser or impeach the witness, BEFORE the PR damage is done.
