Kim Roberts has faced a public storm.
'Weird evening' was just the start
'2nd dancer' tells of life since party
Roberts was born on Okinawa. Her mother is Korean. Her father, who was in the Air Force, is black. A 4.0 average got her into UNC-Chapel Hill, where she studied psychology.
"I had vague notions, one day wearing a power suit and carrying a briefcase," she said.
After two unsatisfying years, she got pregnant, married and dropped out. The marriage quickly fell apart.
Roberts took a job as a payroll specialist at Qualex, a photo-processing company. There, she embezzled $25,000.
Roberts showed up on time and collected her $400. The players told her they had requested a white dancer and a Hispanic dancer, and assumed Roberts was Hispanic. The other dancer, who is black, showed up a half-hour later. Defense lawyers have said the accuser showed up impaired, a claim Roberts disputed.
Roberts said she couldn't get the other dancer's phone number or address. She talked with the accuser's escort service, but it was of no help, she said. She drove to the 24-hour Kroger, where a security guard suggested calling police. The police tried smelling salts before dragging the unconscious dancer from the car.
