Excerpt: "I've decided to reveal some of the dirty sex details of the case.
I have been told it's anal sex. ... My sources have been telling me.
"That's why it's going to be controversial when it goes to trial. It's what
is causing people a lot of uncomfortable feelings.
"Some of the details (of the case) are explosive. Dateline (NBC) had some of
this information and decided not to air it. ... This speculation is quite
solid from where I sit."
Drudge's revelation is nothing new to people frequenting message boards and
newsgroups on the internet - but it does mark the first time someone has
reported it (anal sex) via a mainstream media outlet.

I'd be willing to guess there are lots of 'injuries' then. And I'd also be
willing to guess this goes a long way towards proving rape.

Anal sex proves rape. Uh-huh. Right.
I'd say what it proves is -- if she was partying and bragging about it
less than 24 hours later, then she wasn't in a great deal of pain.
Probably because she was accustomed to doing anal sex.

What *was* posted right here in ATC is that 3 days BEFORE Bryant was
charged, she was at a party where the alleged bragging occurred. It was not
"less than 24 hours later". Get your story straight.

Personally I find it easier to see a high paid 'hero' of the basketball

OK, I think if this is true, we may have a *sense* of what could have
happened.
What if the woman consented to sex? Ordinary sex, that is. And then he
forced her to have anal sex. That could explain the comments about her not
being sure she was raped, as well as why so much seems so confusing here.
So, for all those who are SOOO into saying well, she went to his room....
well, imagine how THIS scenario would play in front of a jury!
I guess if you consent to "sex," you give up any rights over your own body,
correct? By the logic I've been seeing in discussion about this case, it
would seem so... I mean, if it's OK to force sex on someone since they came
into your hotel room, surely it's OK to make a person who thought they were
going to just have ordinary sex then also have anal sex?
Very interesting. I think I believe *this* gossip (and find it pretty
disgusting that Drudge finds the need to get into this before it has to be
public). And if I were KF, I would drop this case and not even consider
subjecting myself to any more of this absurdity. Not because I think she is
"wrong," but because I think SHE can't get a "fair trial."
PattyC
No one is claiming she was bragging about it 24 hours later. The
allegation is that she was bragging about it two weeks later, at a
party three days before charges were filed.... and that allegation is
highly suspect, for several reasons.
Don't be a doofus -- it was less than 24 hours after the alleged rape.
It's amazing the lengths you'll go to, to presume a man guilty.
Funny it all seems so "obvious" to you. Funny it's not that "obvious" to

I think if the suicide stories are true (and they appear to be so) then
it's a pretty safe bet that the girl has some serious problems. This
doesn't not automatically make her a liar, however.
Somebody recently made an excellent point that women with serious
psychological issues are much more at risk to become victims of this
type of crime.
My question was is this (suicide attempts) common in women who
level false rape charges? Don't know. I agree, however, that leaping
from "tried to kill herself" to "lied about the rape" is not an automatic
deduction. It will be a very different ballgame if it turns out she *has*
made this kind of accusation before.

Which would seem to be the most likely story here if it is a case of rape.
Somehow I'm just not seeing Beast-Kobe grabbing the girl the moment
she tries to leave. A more likely scenario is consensual sex that turns into
something else. Which is still rape, although I can't tell how a jury will
react. There's certainly no shortage of posters who think that just because
she was up in his room she was responsible for anything else that happened.
The jury might think the same way.
I saw that "false imprisonment" was on the charge too.

The defense will argue that
a) she came up to the room voluntarily
b) she engaged in consensual sex
c) therefore, there is no rape
Prosecution will (probably) argue that
a) she came up to the room voluntarily
b) she was forced to perform a non-consensual sexual act
c) therefore it *is* rape
Big question:
Why did she go to his room?
If it was hotel business, then we'd have to believe that
Kobe just flat-out grabbed her and raped her, which doesn't
fit too well with his calling his wife right about the same time,
and then hanging around the hotel as if there was nothing wrong
afterwards. Maybe he's just so arrogant (or stupid) that he figured
he was above the law, but the impression I get is of a guy sweet-talking
his wife right before he parties with some girl he just met, and then
hanging around afterwards because he wasn't afraid of being charged
with rape.
I guess we'll have to wait to get answers. My guess is that it
was either a planned hookup that got too rough or the girl is
lying for some reason that probably only makes sense to her.

even if it WAS a planned hookup, it is *no* until she says *yes*. it cannot be
presumed that just because she was in his room, she was consenting to sex.
and even if she initially said *yes* and then at some point began to say *no*,
and he continues to force himself on her, IMO, that is still rape...or sexual
assualt at the very least.

Thank you Patty. It certainly does happen. This mean and desperate
attempt to smear the girl...a 19 year old who lives at home and met
Kobe while she was working behind a hotel lobby registration desk. Not
some 25 -35 year old groupie hanging out at places the sports stars go
to.
He checked in , saw this gorgeous YOUNG chick ...hung around the lobby
suggesting that he'd like a tour of the place.Probably flirted with her and
suggested she give him the tour. Maybe she did and then returned to her
desk job. Then he called up and requested something from room service
...was it food...literature about the hotel..who knows but he was still
trying to get her into his room.
He got her there and started the mauling right away acting as if she was
really with the program, refusing her "no's" or "stop it's"...and I
bet it was anal because he doesn't want any paternity suits later.
He completes his deed and she leaves as soon as she can and looks
dissheveled when she gets back to the lobby and drives home and tells her
mother. ( she was in his room a very short time and we know there was
bodily fluids exchanged.
He was hunting the inexperienced hoping to get away with it because of his
celebrity status.

Right on, Michael, after the alleged rape and not a couple weeks before.
Teresa and Kris have some kind of idea that they know the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth in every case that gets to ATC. They took
lessons from the dear departed Maggie.
Oh but you said that the party was before the alleged rape happened. Now you
want to slip out of that statement? Back pedal, back pedal.
The point is that Teresa said the party was days before the alleged rape. The
party where she was bragging about the size of his "equipment" was after the
alleged rape. This came from her so-called friends.
Teresa is the one that said the party was before the alleged rape. That makes
Michael the jerk?
His point and mine, also, was and is that the party was after the alleged rape,
not before as Teresa said and now wants to backpedal out of what she said.
Have you ever heard of a rape victim bragging about the size of the rapist's
"equipment". Don't think do.

A complete fantasy and that's supposed to be the truth. Ok, sure!
BTW, where are the people that work with her to testify that she came back for

I don't see the post where Teresa 'said' that, I see posts where she said
'before Bryant was 'charged'. He wasn't charged until a couple weeks after
the alleged incident, but I don't see a post where Teresa said the party was
before the rape, only before the charge.

Nor do we know that that's what happened. It is not rape until
lack-of-consent is proven (not merely alleged or speculated).
Has it occurred to you or Patty that sometimes people consent,
and then change their minds DAYS LATER? News flash: that happens too.
Retroactive withdrawal of consent does not constitute rape in any
rational person's mind.

Too great a burden -- to tell the truth? So, this supposed inability
to obtain real facts justifies making them up?

It precludes her not knowing she was raped.
It pretty much precludes her walking and driving
home and going to sleep. It precludes her walking
around and "looking visibly upset".

this rape, the more the glaring absence of any precedence
on Kobe's part stands out.

Could you please show me where I've said that sarah? I refrained from
making comments on this case much at all until I saw the trashing this girl

enough to make any decision at all' and tried to keep my posts only
referrring to the fact that I find it appalling that without any facts this
poor girl has had so many disgusting remarks made about her. I don't recall
ever saying Bryant was guilty, only that dragging this girl through the mud
is uncalled for until we know what the evidence is.

Huh? It seems that it is much easier for someone like you to empathize with
a perpetrator. Hmmm.
It is difficult to report the incident because the victims become
revictimized by assholes like you. The entire system revictimized the women
and children once they have reported a sexual assault. IF an indictment and
trial ensue, the trauma increases manyfold. All rape statistics are
guestimates. On top of someone using violence or threat of violence to take
you away from yourself. It is a crime. Blaming a victim is ignorance or a
sure sign of instability with your own sense of being human.

I agree, although you never know. According to FNC, even

about him.

It has happened repeatedly when a celebrity is accused of sex assault or
rape. Just not in this case.
What I mean is - would she still be able to walk
if she had gone through that? No lube, no consent.
And what turned young Kobe to get this sudden
need for anal rape?
I mean, now he's not only a career rapist, but a
psycho too.
And do you really think she would be bragging about
the size of his schlong if she'd had been anally raped?

We don't know that it's sudden, however. If he
did this every other weekend I'm sure someone
would have gotten on to the story. But it's not
impossible that this *has* happened before.

story.

I don't know if that part's true or not. I accept that
she was at the party her so-called friend had. What
she said/did there is not very solid. Since more than
one named source puts her at the party, I think that
part's true. But one source has her talking about
Kobe's dick, and the other has her in tears over
being asked what happened. Maybe both are true,
maybe just one, maybe neither. This party gossip
doesn't have a lot of collateral either way, unlike
the reports of the suicide attempts which appear
to have support.

Unstable certainly. Impulsive, don't know. I would have
to read consistent reports from more than one source of
examples of her impulsiveness. The instability has several
sources and two stark examples.
As for Kobe, we have to wait and see. It hasn't been that
long yet. I do agree that if there are examples, they've been
covered-up pretty efficiently.

OK, this is supposed to be a nearly-all-white community, right?
This girl is white, and this celebrity athelete is black, right?
Suppose she was at the party, and she was bragging about having
shagged the big sports celebrity, and she started sensing that
her boast, rather than earn her the respect and awe she was
hoping for, was creating bad vibes because some of her friends
weren't too crazy about the inter-racial thing? Now it's too
late for her to take back the story, but maybe it's not too late
to change it from a brag to a sob?

I'm still wondering about the Yes, yes, no, yes yes yes, um NO.
If it goes that way, how many accusers do you think would really admit to
vacillating like that? I still hold it against her that she went to his
room of her own volition, and the reports don't sound as if the hotel/spa
"sent" her there as a part of her job. Of course, I hope we'll hear what
really happened, once the case goes to trial.
Linda
Or at least clear some of the murk off the timeline. 10pm-1am is totally
unclear. I've heard
a) Kobe checks in, gets a tour, girl comes to his room on "hotel business"
the rape occurs, she leaves and goes home
b) Kobe checks in, no tour, girl goes to his room a half hour after getting
off work, hangs out for 1-2hrs, rape occurs, she leaves and goes home
c) Kobe checks in, no tour, girl goes up to his room, rape occurs, Kobe and
possibly his bodyguards hold her hostage for an hour, she finally leaves,
goes home.
And various permutations. What's the truth?
RstJ
I would have to regard that as a grey arey myself. But what I
