I think the fact that the girl had emotional problems made the DA very cautious about going to trial. He had to have other evidence because any jury that hears a defendent is mentally ill is likely to discount her testimony. He reviewed the evidence in a very careful manner and then decided to charge Kobe.

Agreed,
I gather there was a lot of thought put into pressing charges.
As for the girl being emotionally unstable...
Geez louise,
She can be a paranoid schiz with a personality disorder and imaginary friends.
There is a very nasty message being sent out here...
you better not have ANY problems or ANY past or ANY of the quirks that are part of growing up.
Rape is rape....
