Kobe lied last week before the charges were brought to the LA Times.

My take on that is he was probably trying to work out a settlement with the girl and her family. If a settlement had taken place he would have been able to say nothing happend and she would have had to refrain from commenting. But I don't see anything nefarious about it.

Kobe doesn't look good here-no matter what. My 13 year old son loved Kobe and is hearbroken about this. He seemed like a really nice person. It is sad really.... for all involved.
