star Kobe Bryant and his 19-year-old accuser had some consensual sexual contact, but the intercourse was not consensual

Oh boy, I am very conflicted on this. If this woman had oral sex with Bryant, and resisted intercourse, should that be equated with a rape where there was no sexual contact prior to the rape? Maybe they need to come up with a new name for this kind of (disclaimer:alleged) rape.

If she spit, you must acquit.

Of course it should. The law is clear.

Big if. But even if this was the case, Bryant would be guilty of rape at the point where he did anything that she didn't consent to. It doesn't and shouldn't matter what happened before that...

Rope? A mixture between a romp and a rape.
