Sources: Anal intercourse rumor untrue

Another rumor bit the dust Wednesday when sources said stories about anal intercourse between Kobe Bryant and his alleged victim are not true.

A rumor has rocketed across the country that the incident between Bryant and the 19-year-old woman Eagle woman he allegedly sexually assaulted stopped being consensual when Bryant demanded and may have tried to force anal intercourse.

While sources stopped short of saying the word "anal" would not come up at the trial, they did say the story about acts of anal intercourse or demands for it were not accurate.

Sources said that when the case finally hits trial, it will center on the physical evidence, which sources call "abundant," and the assertion that the alleged victim wanted to leave the room but Bryant did not allow her to leave.

Bryant's arrest warrant included a misdemeanor count of false imprisonment. In Colorado, that means simply that someone wanted to leave an area or situation, but was physically kept from doing so.

The story is one of dozens shooting back and fourth across the country, aided by the Internet, as rumors swirl about this summer's highest profile story.

- The woman whom Bryant allegedly assaulted received a ride home. Not true. Reports that her clothing was torn are also untrue, sources said. Sources said that the alleged victim managed to get herself home by 11:50 p.m. June 30, after ending the shift at the Lodge at Cordillera at around 11:10 p.m. They also said that although her clothing was disheveled and showed signs that something has occurred, it wasn't torn or ripped, as some reports indicated.

- The woman made previous charges of sexual harassment against another hotel worker at the Lodge at Cordillera. Not true. Another female employee did so, which led to the termination of a Cordillera employee.

- The woman was in Kobe Bryant's room for up to two hours. Not true. She was there for about 20 minutes.

- The woman was hysterical when she returned to the hotel lobby from Bryant's room. Not true. She was in a state of shock and stupor, sources said.

- Eagle County Sheriff Joe Hoy is personal friends with the woman's family. Not true.

- An attorney in the District Attorney's Office is related to someone in the Eagle County attorney's office. Not true. They share the same last name as the alleged victim, but are not related and had never met.

- Physical evidence alone is enough to convict Kobe Bryant. Not true. Sources have said there is an abundance of physical evidence, although Hurlbert has steadfastly refused to comment on anything regarding the case. Hurlbert did say, though, that no part of the evidence was any more important than any other, and that it was the sum of the evidence being greater than its individual parts that convinced him to charge Bryant with one count of felony sexual assault.

- Bryant can pay off the alleged victim to get out of this. Not true. It is now a matter for the courts and beyond the control of the alleged victim, even if she wanted to call it all off.

FWIW, I received this email today. I have the headers if someone would like to figure them out. It was part of a mass, spam mailing. It was addressed to my website, www.0cents.com. The "XXX" belows refers to the girl's name

I live in Eagle not far from
the girl who accused Kobe of
rape.

I do not know her, but my cousin
is good friends with her. I want
to share things I know about this.

First off my cousin believed her
at first and now doubts she is
telling the truth. She has changed
her story a bit from the very beginning
of this. The media is distorting the
facts of this story.

Katie never had any bruises on her
and my cousin was with her a few
days after the alleged rape. There
are a lot of people in this town that
do not believe her. The media has made
it seem like the whole town backs her.
That is false. If you came here you would
see people driving around in their cars
with FREE KOBE & KOBE IS INNOCENT written
on the windows.

She also did not deliver room service to
his room. She went there after she got off
of work. She told my cousin she thought he
liked her and that he was really nice to her.

Nobody really knows what happened in that
room except Kobe and Katie. She also has
a relative that is very close to the
investigation and that is why charges were
filed.

The Sheriff is good friends with the family
also. This case is not what it really seems
there are a lot of facts about Katie that
will come out at the trial.

I do not think Kobe raped her. She has had
some mental issues for quite a while now.

She also has a lawyer and plans on suing
Kobe for 2 million dollars. My cousin got
very suspicious of this when she told her.

Katie is known to make things up. There is a
teacher of hers that has even stated this and
her ex-boyfriend also feels she is lying about
being raped.

So everyone who thinks Kobe cannot get a fair
trial here that is far from the truth. People
want to know the truth and so far Katie
has not been honest about some things. I
am sad that someone could possibly make
something like this up and ruin an innocent
mans life.

This is as true as it gets, Its on record
for all you internet junkies to search for
it, she has 3 offers for book deals and 1
offer for a TV made movie and is ready to
sign if she's allowd play herself...

WHATS THAT ALL ABOUT? MAYBE SHE'S AN ACTRESS!

OHH YES SHE IS - LOOK AT HER HIGH SCHOOL YEAR
BOOK, SHE'S IN THE DRAMA CLUB, TRIED AMERICAN
IDOL AND STAR SEARCH! PEOPLE, DONT LET KOBE
GO DOWN FOR HER TO GO UP....
