Free Republic is not a general circulation newspaper. We come here to get the news you can't get from the mainstream press. I think it is a bad idea when forums like this impose restrictions on the type of FACTS that they are going to allow to be posted.
This girl is not a 14 year old virgin. Indeed, it appears she is quite the opposite. This fact is extremely relevant to whether or not a Jury can believe she did or did not consent. But then this is the type of evidence that our politically correct legislatures and Judges have decided should be kept from Juries. In a "he said/she said" case such as this, the prior seuxual conduct of both parties is highly relevant. It should not be excluded. If she is sleeping with every Tom Dick and Harry, then you should be able to conclude that she just might sleep with every Kobe that came around as well.
Not to mention what kind of motivation several million dollars can buy. These laws have turned the entire US justice system into a joke. Now all that is needed to send someone to jail for years and take everything he owns is the word of the person who will be taking it.
If her sexual history is relevant, then so is the fact that Kobe Bryant is married, and hence is at minimum guilty of adultery. Even more relevant is the fact that Bryant denied any sexual contact with her, then he contradicted himself and said he committed adultery with her. So he has already been caught in a lie once. He used the Bill Clinton formula almost exactly. (just minus the finger wagging) Many people who exorciated Bill Clinton, are excusing Kobe Bryant forexactly the same thing. I think many Freepers OWE BILL CLINTON A BIG APOLOGY!
