I agree. In stanger rapes, the victim is almost never blamed. It is the so-called "date rapes' where we often suspect the victim of contributing to her situation.
Let's face it, there is a huge difference between Kobe crawling through her bedroom window with a knife clenched between his teeth, and her voluntarily going to his motel room.
Usually but not always. In public, Kobe is gentle and charming. We do not know how he can get behind closed doors, particularly if he's been on pain-killers for his knee, and has been drinking at all
I could see a girl going up to his room expecting to be seduced and charmed into bed by a celebrity, but then finding herself in a situation where he displays a much uglier side of himself, he isn't charming at all, and is not about to let her leave without giving him the "room service" he now demands
