Reminds me of the Kobe Bryant scandal.

No, actually it is the exact opposite of the Kobe Bryant scandal. In that case the girl was actually raped, but the legal system and the media immediately put up the "nuts and sluts" defense e.g. "why was she even in his room",etc. Eventually, the accuser gave up and took a settlement. In this case, the accuser is a hooker with a criminal record and the system/media immediately took her side even though we all know that a rape did not occur. It is, quite simply, a racial issue. Kobe got a bye and the Duke lacrosse team did not. Do you think the coach will be reinstated? I think not. Do you think the season will be reinstated? I think not. Did Kobe miss a game? I think not.

There was no real proof of rape. She took the cash and ran. Her story had some tough holes in it. But, the racial overtones were there and Kobe was certainly treated differently.

And you know this how? The woman in that particular case had the "dna" of two maybe three men on her when she claimed that she had been raped. She selectively outcried afterwards.

You might say you believed she was raped. And she might have been. But the chances of making a case when she was a walking sperm bank was slim to none. But she got her nuisance money.

There is zero proof that the accuser of Kobe Bryant was raped. One thing there is proof of, however, is that the DNA of two other men was found in here at the same time as Kobe's. She had sex with two other men within 48 hours of her encounter with Bryant.

It is just as likely that sex between Kobe Bryant and Kate Faber was consensual.
