When a crime is committed, and the 'victim' waits until all physical evidence is gone, one begins to wonder if the 'victim' is what they claim. Is this a case of 'rape' or did the girl feel 'cheap' because Kobe didn't call her in the morning?
One can never tell, but I know personally from counseling that many women never report the crime or wait to report it because of the backlash. And it usually revolves around accuations about being "easy" or "deserving it". Silence doesnt always equate into being a liar. Just like calling the police after allegations of rape equates into telling the truth. I don't know about this girl, nor do I know Mr. Bryant. So I can't say either way in terms of their ability to tell the truth. But certainly to assume that any woman who claims rape is a liar or a gold digger is far fetched. Rape does happen. Period.

Rape does happen. Period.I have never denied that the crime of rape occurs. However, there have been hundreds of men falsly accused of rape; who have been imprisioned unjustly. Is this a case of extortion? Or a girl who feels 'cheap' in the morning? Did she find out she didn't get pregnant, and then missed the opportunity to live on child support from a Super-star for 18 years? Or ... did the crime occur? I have not heard any facts either way.... I just have questions at this point in time; and have this odd habit of believing a person innocent until proven guilty. Funny isn't it .... rape is the one crime where a man is considered automatically guilty until proven innocent.
