” When the officers asked Bryant whether she said no or resisted, Bryant replied, “OK. I’m thinking, I’m thinking, I’m thinking. (Pause.) I’m trying to think of the conversation we had.”

He admitted that he “held [the accuser] from the back” and that the sex lasted “about five minutes.”

The officers then asked Bryant, “Did you ever ask her if you wanted, if you could cum in her face?” “Yes,” Bryant replied, adding, “That’s when she said no. That’s when she said no. That’s when she said no.”

Define rejection. He screwed her first, very roughly. Forensic evidence. Bruises on her neck. Her blood on his Tshirt, his ejaculate on the same shirt.

Then he rejected her. Done with you, groupie, don’t tell anyone. Might have been a vengeful accusation, might have been a truthful accusation. Certainly not a disproof of rape.

[I don’t know what happened between Kobe and that girl but she agreed to settle out of court instead of testifying under oath he raped her. My personal belief is that if I were a victim of a real attack, I would hope I would seek justice and punish the accused and not simply settle out of court. That she settled makes me believe it wasn’t ‘rape-rape’ but something did transpire between the two of them. ]


You’re not everyone. This girl had attempted suicide a month before. She was a pretty fragile individual. Fragile individuals are submissive before forceful rape and blame themselves. You would have punched him in the face and clawed at his eyes, leaving tangible evidence of your resistance. Then there’s the issue of supportive family members. I assume your family would have backed you up. Would her family have supported her through her ordeal? Maybe a lack of it was why she went through that suicide attempt in the first place. And stuff like this is what defense lawyers go after. In their narrative, how can you tell if rape occurred if the victim isn’t in her right mind, to begin with?

While some of what you say is true concerning his widow and remaining children that does not negate the fact he was a self entitled, I’m Kobe and I get what I want whenever I want it, womanizer/rapist. Your idolization not withstanding.
Innocent people who know for a fact they are innocent fight in the courts to the very end.
They do not settle and issue a self serving legal statement such as issued by Kobe through his attorneys.
Example, Trump who has been sued innumerable times has never ever settled out of court. He has fought every single accusation in the courts to resolution.

Kobe had deep pockets and needed to put this behind him for his career. The woman was treated nice by Kobe but when invited to his motel room things changed; but then most rapes happens are from someone the victim likes. Kobe’s lawyer was someone that would make the victims life hell.

The girl got OJ’d by Bryant’s vastly superior financial resources, and chose a financial settlement over a public trial

Actually, the accuser's story wasn't credible because:

(1) The prosecution's main witness was a coworker the accuser said she'd slept with only a day or two before the alleged rape.

(2) Not even a full day after the alleged rape, a DNA test was administered on the woman, and the DNA was found to be from another man (not Kobe).

We could go on and on about the problems the prosecution had with this case and the accuser's story.

Unlike a lot of the #metoo victims, she went to the police straight away.

Yes, and the DNA evidence was found to be another man's.

So you’re another one continuing the anal rape charge with no evidence.

Is your observation based on a 19 year old girl going to his bedroom at night then later claiming she was raped but refused to testify but did get a truckload of money?

the media gleefully revealed the woman's name and repeated hearsay evidence from men she'd dated.

It wasn't about "men she'd dated." It was about the men she'd slept with in that 3-day period, including evidence that she'd slept with a man right after the alleged "rape."

Those who think Kobe raped her, probably think the Duke kids did it, and Kavanaugh too.

Abbey, Kobe made his fortune by skill and hard work, how did you get yours? In addition - I do not have to deal with it Kobe dealt with it, he was a devout Christian. He followed Jesus who died for Kobes sins, so you see, it has been dealt with.

Written by an icky attorney, but it does imply that Mister Bryant was a rapist.

We have all seen that show people and professional athletes sometimes get preferred treatment and can be above the law.

Redemption is a good thing, but rape is rape. There is no going back from rape.

Good point. We saw what happened when Kavanaugh was accused.

Of course he raped her. If he wasn’t a super star athlete he’d be in jail. It’s pretty obvious.

I’m not sure when he became a devout Catholic. In 2003 he admitted to having regular sex with a side piece named Michelle. Of course, he also had a wife at home that one presumes he was having sex with. So right there it’s obvious he wasn’t living up to his marriage vows. When Vanessa started divorce proceedings in December 2011, it’s possible he was up to his old tricks. They reconciled in January 2013 so maybe he got a handle on his behavior the last few years of his life, but to ascribe choir-boy characteristics to a professional athlete is disingenuous.
