"I would rather that her privacy be honored and that she be able to remain private," Hurlbert said.

I would rather that her identity be publicized. There is no reason in the world for a woman who screams rape after sleeping with a celebrity to have anonymity. The media should expose this charletan, instead of giving her the P.R. advantage. They are smearing a celebrity simply because of his celebrity. And while I know little of this case, I am aware of the doctrine that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Let this woman be outed so the truth can come out.

Are you sure she "slept with" him and wasn't raped? It doesn't sound like an amorous adventure to me. Twenty minutes in the room and bruises and torn clothing are the result according to the last report I heard.

"...so the truth can come out."

The only truth to emerge so far, is that Bryant has told two different stories: one pre-, and one post-charge.

For someone who "know(s) little of this case" you sure seem to have made your mind up. So explain exactly how you already know she's charletan?

BTW, I agree Bryant's innocent until proven guilty, but you've already assumed the woman is guilty. That's exactly why her name is public -- people who love Bryant will harrass her to no end.

They fact he raped her had nothing to do with it.
