A new bombshell revelation in the Kobe Bryant case threatens to destroy the credibility of the prosecutions key witness - whose testimony could send the basketball superstar to jail for years. Sources told GLOBE that the 19-year-old woman who has accused Bryant of rape told them she had sex with the prosecutions star witness Bobby Pietrack - a week before she met Bryant.
Pietrack, a 23-year-old bellhop at the resort where the alleged rape took place, is the first person Katelyn Faber told about her encounter with Bryant. He can testify about her emotional state and physical appearance at the time.
But legal experts tell us that if there was a sexual encounter between Katelyn and the bellhop, it could wreck his credibility and sink the case of the Eagle County, Colo., prosecutor.
For all the details of this blockbuster story, pick up the new issue of GLOBE.

The judge was being shortsighted. I'm taking him as an authority, because he knows more about this case than we do.

I guess she could have been brutally sodomized and later decided that having sex before heading to the hospital to have her examination to charge her attacker with rape was a good idea. That's the craziest. That's like having someone beat you up before you go to file charges on someone else who beat you up.

If you want to petition the courts to charge Bryant with adultery, be my guest, but dont call him 'guilty' in the context of this court case, because he sinned. In cases of sin, courts are not the judge and if I may say so, neither are you. I would defy you to find where I stated I wanted him charged with adultery. It isn't illegal, but rather just wrong. I have no desire to "go after" Kobe for anything. My statement is that his actions are just as applicable to this case as our his alleged victim's. To deny that is to engage in a form of hero worship that blinds completely.
To repeat, I in no way stated that I would prosecute Kobe for adultery. I stated that I find it extremely distasteful and punishable by castration, yes. But not in court. It isn't illegal. Now put down the straw man and slowly step away... :-)

What does my bias have to do with the logistics of how criminal law works?
To: Smogger
I find it a bit much to surmise something so cut and dry from this bit of information. It is just as plausible that he is a confidant that she felt comfortable telling this story. The jury is not even selected yet, far from time to call the case over .. either way. There's only 2 people who know the whole story here, and they are both telling different versions. I find it abhorant to take the attitude that a promiscuous woman cannot be a rape victim. Can a whore be raped? Can a wife? Please people ... wait and see before passing judgement!

I remember everybody thinking those three cops in LA would be found guilty in the Rodney King case and guess what? They were found innocent after trial. I'll have to add 'disingenous' to 'biased' when describing you, because those men were tried again and sent to jail. I dont want to be your truth police, so how about a little balance?

Because Michael Jackson has a history of this kind of bizarre behavior and people believe he is a pedophile of some kind whereas people don't believe Kobe had "violent back-entry sex." The blood present coroborates that part of the story, even if it was consensual.
Kobe has for years hung out with NBA Players, the lowest gang of scum and thugs outside a prison. My presumption is that is he were a decent individual, he wouldn't be there.

Exactly. I know two guys were asked and refused; it's certainly not going to help her case if it's yet another guy "to be named at a later date."I think she's had enough dates already!

Well the judge hasn't seen all the evidence presented in this case either. Besides, its not the place of a judge to make determinations of guilt or innocence. It is the place of a jury. The judge just has to make sure the case is being prosecuted and defended legally.
To: Jokelahoma
I stated that I find it extremely distasteful and punishable by castration, yes. How many men have pretty young women throwing themselves at them every single day?
I don't know if I could resist temptation under those conditions.

You called him 'guilty', and I said that in the eyes of God, that is not your judgment to make. Is that hard to understand?

Oh, man, is The Globe every BEHIND on the news curve! The tabloids are not as far off the mark as the general public thinks. The National Enquirer got the Rush/drug story first.

I really do not envy him right now--spending loads of taxpayer dollars on a case he has no chance of winning... That's just LESS MONEY the DA will have to spend on much better cases. Hell some of those perps will probably walk cause they blew their wad on this DOG!
