July 23: Denver Post: Bray said the woman was working the front desk at the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera in Edwards when Bryant, 24, a player for the Los Angeles Lakers, arrived about 10 p.m. The two had a friendly exchange as the woman processed Bryant's paperwork and handed him room keys, Bray said. "She said she felt a certain amount of chemistry with him," Bray told The Denver Post. A short time later, Bryant asked the woman - a 2002 Eagle Valley High School graduate and University of Northern Colorado student - to show him around the resort, said Bray, who has talked at length with the woman during her recent stays with him and his wife, Starlene, also a high school friend. The woman, flattered by Bryant's offer, accepted. She was on duty but not busy because of the late hour. She was due to go off duty at 11 p.m. "She said he was just really down to earth, and that he was acting like a great guy," Bray said. "He was easy to talk to." The two of them strolled around the main lodge of the sprawling 56-room resort. At some point, Bryant invited her into his room, Bray said. "She had thoughts of declining," Bray said. "But he had been nice. She felt safe about doing that." The woman told Bray that she soon realized it was nearly time for a shift change and that she had to be back at the front desk to punch out. "Once she told him she had to leave, his attitude started to change," Bray said. "From there the story gets crazy." Bray refused to give details of what he called "the attack" because of requests from the woman's family and her attorney. But Bray said the woman has obvious physical injuries that are still visible three weeks after the incident. "I can't wait for this to get in front of a jury so they can see what happened," Bray said. "Their jaws will hit the floor, and they will convict him." Bray said that whatever happened after the incident is unclear because the woman was "really emotional and upset" as she left Bryant's room. Some reports have said the woman was hysterical and visibly upset. Bray said the woman doesn't remember much. He said she made the 30-minute drive from the lodge to her home in Eagle by herself and was home by midnight. The next morning she told her mother and a friend about what happened, Bray said. "It was her mother that knew right away what happened," Bray said. It was her mother, Bray said, who told the woman, "You were raped."
