I work with a guy who recently got married. When he was asked about whether he would have strippers or other female "entertainers" for his bachelor party, he said, "Hell no!" Why not? He learned from the mistake of a friend, who had the stereotypical Tom Hanks booze and bimbo fest. In the days afterward, one of the invitees/participants -- who had promised his wife that there wouldn't be any sex at the gathering -- had an attack of conscience, and tearfully spilled the beans to his missus about his activity at the party...as well as everyone else's.
The new marriage was put on life support when word got around, and died shortly thereafter.
If the woman who spouted false Tailhook allegations was lying to conceal her involvement in an orgy (I don't recall the details of the story, and they don't matter much when discussing Kobe anyway), that's easy to explain: There would be plenty of people who could say that she was a part of the action, and if any one of the participants said she was a willing sex partner, she would be toast in a variety of ways.
On the other hand, there was no one who witnessed the sex between Bryant and his accuser. If she made a choice to lie to her key witness about rape to cover up a consensual encounter with Bryant, she could have just said, "We were talking, and he was a perfect gentleman. Nothing happened, don't be silly," and no one could contradict her. Kobe, a notoriously secretive married superstar with a sparkling reputation, would never have walked into the lobby of the resort and said, "She's a great lay!"
Nice try.
That's an interesting point. I may have jumped the gun on this bellhop thing. But, it will still do some damage to the procecution.
The bellman know's whether or not she is easy or not if he had sex with her. He's not gonna by that crap.
