Colorado has some of the most draconian rape laws I have ever seen.
I saw this show on A&E about it; even if Kobe had gotten probation agreed to by the DA, he would have had to have undergone a penile plethysmograph test where they took him into a room and put him in a chair like a dentist chair and hook him up to this device like a lie detector, only it's on his penis.
Then they would show him movies of people having sex, women have sex, all the while listening to women talking about being raped; if he so much as got a hard on, the judge could revoke his probation and send him immediately to jail, regardless of what the DA had agreed to.
Now just imagine a guy his age NOT getting one!
can you cruel and unusual?
In California, parents charged with child molest are often required to undergo similar experiences.
