I just did. His own words condemn him.

Take out the "how" in the sentence, and see how it changes everything.

Then add it back in, to see that he was admitting to her logic.

good for you in defense of the woman. 6'7" Bryant says that she consented to what? star struck is not consent. a girl talk, in his hotel room, to a star for a few minutes and he thinks he has the RIGHT to have sex.

I rarely follow any of these trials in the paper, but as time drags on it is clear that Kobe was not a gentleman either to the girl or his wife. that he had heavyweight lawyers ready to pound this girl is a return to the worst in our system. What happened to men who accept that NO means No. Guys over 50 know what No means. We heard it plenty and it did not mean, "you need to force me so I can enjoy sex."

The reason the criminal case was dropped was that there was plenty of physical evidence that she had sex with another man after Bryant but before the medical exam. A woman who had been raped would be in a traumatic situation both physically and mentally and would not be off having sex with another man. Her behavior did not indicate that she thought she had been raped a few hours after the encounter.

The testimony of the police officer who took her report was clear as well. When she finally said that she told Bryant to stop at one point, she said he stopped at that point. When you are engaged in a consensual sex act and you tell someone to stop, and they stop, it is not rape.

She has done more to destroy rape victims in America than anyone in the last 15 years. She has cast a shadow over the testimony all women who have been brutally raped. I for one would like to see rape as a capital offense. And since I view rape as such a heinous crime, I likewise view a false claim of rape as a serious crime as well.

From the article:

The L.A. Lakers star, who wasn't in court yesterday, has acknowledged having sex with Faber, but insists it was consensual.
