The victim is in custody of law or detained in a hospital or other institution and the actor has supervisory or disciplinary authority over the victim and uses this position of authority to coerce the victim to submit, unless the act is incident to a lawful search;

Guess he shoulda gotten a badge like Shaq...then he could have said something along the line of..."Well, she was resisting and I had to use both hands to hold her down, and not having backup I had to use something to search her with..."

I don't know, but I think even if they had consensual intercourse, she can claim assault. There have been cases of spouses doing the same, when it wasn't forced. Maybe not in CO., but I am certain it's happened.

Please see my previous post on Class 3 Felony Sexual Assault. You will see that he either used force, threatened the use of force or drugged her.

That's been tried before. Since you are a legal researcher, look for a Florida case called State v. John Ted Wright. It's pretty amusing. It is a rape case, and the defense was, well, impossibility. No way this would fit.

She is not a feminazi, and Kobe will get star treatment. Watch and see.

Or are you an athlete idolator?

A felony committed by somebody with a 3rd grade education.

I've been told Kobe Bryant speaks three languages. Don't know if it's true.

What might that "crowd" be? Why, why, just because I don't agree with you? Kobe will have his time in court. Best to have a jury trial.

I can have my own judgement...doesn't mean conviction.

Torn clothing and bruises can be faked afterwards- and a jury might believe they were faked.

Unless the bruises are in the shape of fingers gripping her with the hand his size.

But what I think will be the biggest thing that could sink him is if any other guests at the hotel reported or testify that there was a ruckus of some sort.

Rita is talking right now that there may be more than just a he-said/she-said here, that there may be other witnesses.

If a person in another room heard a stuggle, he is dead to rights.

I'd say you did, by posting that. Making a comment on a discussion board is inviting discussion. And making an insulting comment about another group, be it sex, race, religion, or other is just asking to be flamed to hell and back.

RGSpincich may not know you, and I certainly don't, but I know this much about you- if you think "men in general think they can harm women", then RGSpinach is right that you know the wrong men.

I'm sorry that the men you have known have been so crappy. I really am.

Hmmm...from the text of the statute, the offense could include having sex with an highly inebriated or incapacitated woman.

Well, if you have any more leaks you'd like to share, private mail them to me. I think this kind of information is perfectly appropriate here, but if someone convinces you otherwise, I'd still like to hear it. Thanks in advance.

Do you know Kobe personally? The TV persona presented is probably alot different than what goes on in real life. How many times have you heard the neighbors of serial murderers say about the perpetrator, "seemed like a nice guy".

a woman -- even a woman on a mission to collect semen for blackmail -- simply does not agree to sexual relations within ten minutes of being alone with a strange man for the first time

He wasn't a "strange man" -- he was a celebrity who she specificly went out of her way to meet by asking to be the one to take up his room-service order, even though it was not her job.

It could be rape. Or it could be that he used her and rudely tossed her out like a used condom, and her level of upset and outrage overcame her. Either way, he's scum

I can guarantee you this DA took his time making sure he had a case against such a high profile individual. You can rest assure that the "victim" passed a polygraph test. The real reason polygraph results are not admissable in court is because it would put half the trial lawyers out of business. Polygraphs today have 98% accuracy, a little better than the OJ debacle.

On second thought, it's probably not the crowd you hang out with. It's you.

>>Do you know Kobe personally? (rant rant rant)<<

Umm, it was a joke. You know, mixing the Kobe thing and the email thing... I'll be clearer next time I venture into humor-land.

I need HTML help!

How do you make the words "WHO GIVES A RAT'S ASS" like 100 points high?


Using the font size value. For example: <'font size=15>Your text here<'/font> (without the single quotes I stuck in there)

WHO GIVES A RATS ASS
