I said this on anothe thread, but since the Kobe hero worshipers are here, I will say this again. He brought this upon himself, I can not work up the energy to feel sorry for him. Even if he didn't rape her, he is a major league idiot.

1. He had unprotected sex with a stranger he just met. He did this in front of his three body guards. Everything that I read, states that the bodyguards were in the room when room service was called. In fact, room service was for the four of them. They all had to give police statements and provide DNA samples.

2. He possibly exposed his wife to several STDs or maybe even a death sentence through AIDS. For all he knew about her, she could have been a hooker in some large city servicing every man in a twenty block area, then returned to her home town to recuperate.

3. He exposed the girl to a possible pregency. That all the world needs is another forgotten and uncare for bastard child.

4. He gamble his future earnings, just getting caught in the act of infidelity and tarnishing his reputation without the rape allegation could cost him millions of dollars.

Actually the list goes on... Just so you know where I stand, I have a slight feeling that he did rape her, but no proof (his conduct in the cab leaving the hospital and his crying statement on TV rings false).

"but since the Kobe hero worshipers are here,"

Well not exactly but her purported scenario doesn't sound so pat either. It seems to me the biggest thing she has going is the reports by neighbors of a ruckus in Kobe's room.

I am rather surprised he didn't use protection but that is often a judgement call at the time.

As to reputation, it sure didn't seem to hurt Wilt Chamberlains reputation.

I have a strong feeling he did not rape her as he is well aware of what he has to lose by rape, or even getting close to the line, and her reported history smacks of motive or instability.
