She went voluntarily to her room cause she was a hotel employee and he called for room service apparently.

It appears that this is a completely different situation than someone going voluntarily to a room. Even if she went not out of job requirments, that doesn't give the person in the room the right to rape her.

The "room service" story was the first one, then evidently dropped. Rita Cosby just reported that the girl apparently did bring something hotel related to his room at apparently his request. It might not have been food,though. Cosby said "hotel related". That might be why the first story mixed up a hotel related errand with "room service".

That's been "withdrawn" in the story. She was off duty and apparently went on her own, not for the hotel. Whether he invited her or not, we'll have to wait to find out.

The accuser was a front desk worker. To my knowledge, she took it upon herself to personally give Kobe a tour of the resort and opted to personally deliver the item when he called the front desk to request it. Neither of these tasks are a job requirement, or even common tasks, of a desk clerk. It seems to me that she had some type of motive.

I'm not a Kobe Bryant fan, nor do I make it a practice to defend rapists, but in this instance it just doesn't add up. Women that are raped don't have multiple, or even one, sex partners a day or two after they have been raped, as she did, which is the damaging evidence the defense has against the accuser. It's not in the psychological profile of a rape victim. Even if it is a boyfriend or husband, most rape victims have a very hard time being intimate again for quite some time. I think it was consensual, and she saw the opportunity to make some money and get some attention.
