And how will he get his reputation back?

LOL - what reputation - this guy is a scumbag even if he is innocent of rape. Fact is - had he not been cheating on his wife none of this would have happened.
Well, his reputation as a faithful husband was justifiably exploded.
But his reputation as a gentleman incapable of rape, well, that was eclipsed for a while. If he gets it back, he will blaze a path for others sullied by false accusations.
All of which is assuming, as I am, that the charge is not legitimate.
1) Kobe had an impeccable reputation before this accusation, that's the reputation being discussed.
2) I agree that cheating on one's spouse is wrong and can lead to problems.
3) 30 some years ago when I was a married man in my mid-twenties; if I were 1000 miles away from home and a young attractive chippie came on to me (a very famous very wealthy version of me) in my 5 star hotel suite...heck I don't know how virtuous I would have been...and I don't consider myself a scumbag. Well I never have been rich and famous nor has such a thing happened to me, so maybe I am a closet scumbag.
Of course I've never called anyone a scumbag.
