I'm sure victims act in all sorts of ways. There is probably no "standard" response. I think that while the delay in reporting is not in itself sinister or unusual, it could on the other hand be a sign of "buyer's remorse" or some other motivation.

I want to make it clear that I really want to know what happened, and if guilty I'll be the loudest in calling for Kobe's scalp. We just do not know enough of the facts, as opposed to rumor and "news leaks" to make a decision on sexual assault at this time, IMHO.

Agreed. I've been saying that on every thread I've been on (feel free to do a search). What bothers me is the alacrity with which supposed "rational" and thinking conservatives here on FR immediately extrapolate the specifics of this case, based on nothing more than their own internal prejudices. These threads say a lot more about the kind of people posting to them, and their mental hang-ups and warped worldviews, that they do about the case at hand...
