As I understand it, this proves that she lied to the police.
It doesn't prove he didn't rape her, but it makes the case impossible to prosecute.

The judge should do the world a favor and toss this case. Any money spent on the prosectution from this day forward is a waste of taxpayer dollars, as there is no way in hell that he's going to be found guilty.

In fact, the longer this case goes on, the better will be Kobe's chances of filing a lawsuit of his own.

This was known long ago and did not stop the Judge's decision to proceed. This is probably a defense move to cloud the water.

LOS ANGELES -- NBC News reported that Kobe Bryant's defense team will be allowed to review the cell-phone records of an ex-boyfriend of his accuser.

State District Judge Terry Ruckriegle issued a rare bench ruling Thursday authorizing the review.

Bryant's defense team alleges that his accuser sent a text message to her ex-boyfriend shortly after her encounter with Bryant.

An attorney for the ex-boyfriend was in court Thursday arguing that allowing the defense access to the phone records would be an invasion of the ex-boyfriend's privacy.

The defense will be allowed to examine the phone records behind closed doors.

Also at the hearing, Bryant's defense team was expected to attack the police work that led to a sexual assault charge against the NBA star.

Prosecutors are fighting the defense bid to call a veteran detective to testify. John Ragle in 1995 criticized the crime-scene investigation in the O.J. Simpson slayings case.

Ruckriegle scheduled open-court arguments on that topic and several others, including a defense request to obtain genetic profiles from unidentified sources.

Although Ruckriegle was expected to set a trial date Thursday, he said that he was unable to do so until some pending issues had been resolved. He chastized the prosecution for missing key deadlines regarding DNA testing.

Following the hearing, Bryant was expected to fly to Los Angeles for an NBA playoff game against Minnesota. It would be the fifth time he has played in a game the night after appearing in court.

Bryant, 25, has said he had consensual sex with a 19-year-old employee of the Vail-area resort where he stayed last summer. If convicted of felony sexual assault, he faces four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation and up to $750,000 in fines.
