Kobe Bryant was formally charged with Sexual Assault today (7-18-03) in Colorado. He had a tearful press conference with his wife by his side. He said he did the deed with the receptionist at the spa he was at getting knee surgery. But, he said she wanted it. As near as I can figure it, this was about the time his wife was laid up having their first child. Doesn't say much for his character does it?

If it was really rape, wouldn't she have reported it immediately? Or was she trying to blackmail him first? Something doesn't seem credible here, but we will never know the truth. The only ones who do know the truth are Kobe and her. No matter how this turns out, Kobe's image is trashed. I can't see sponsors lining up to put his face on their commercials or other ads any time soon. His marraige is obviously not off to a very good start either. Even if she can forgive him, she will never be able to forget it, nor should she. Trust is the most important thing you can have in your spouse and he just threw that out the window for a few minutes of pleasure.

What a shame :(
 
This time...I think he acutally did it...there is more evidence against him than for him. If he did do it...then he nothing but pure scum to little kids that wear his jersey while they play basketball. :angry: :(
 
A slight correction. From earlier reports it said this happened a while back. The police report says it happened on or around June 30th. So apparently she did report it very soon after it happened. Their baby was born in January. Not a big difference, but different nonetheless. Still a shame. I hope he isn't guilty. I'm not a fan of his by any means, but this is just a real shame. :(
 
I think that he's going to be found innocent, its a celebrity thing. THey get away with everything. Just ask OJ...
 
I have a problem with the DA taking 2 weeks to make the formal charges. I also have a problem with the fact this girl was a receptionist for the spa and had no business going to ANY guests room for ANY reason. I smell a big dead fish here and it ain't good. :angry:

BTW, I am NOT a Laker fan, nor a Kobe Bryant fan. I just cannot stand when someone cries fowl just for $$$$$$$$$$$$, and that's all this smells like! :wacko:

Pure Scum ? Kobe donates to charity, participates in kid's charity stuff and is all around philantrophist. Let's say if a white player did this, then the white player would be off scott free, sorry to say it but that's the world works.

Anyway, like I said; whether or not Kobe is found guilty, even if he is found innocent which I think he is, his reputation is damaged forever. He wont be getting the advertisements and the contracts from companies, he'll be hounded forever by the media and he probably wont be playing as good as he used to. I think this is blackmail, it fits the glove of the Cowboys Wide Receiver Michael Irvin who I believe was innocent of the charges and the woman who alledged rape was actually blackmailing him and fortunately she's serving jail time for perjury. Well, thats another human life damaged by claims for money, poor guy.
 
Well maybe he did or maybe he didn't. That remains to be seen. If he didn't the girl should be brought up on charges. If he did he should serve time. Big name NBA star or not.

Agreed!

But the main point is that he put himself in a posiiton that he did not need to do.

I hate it when someone says that they "made a mistake."
It wasn't a mistake. Mistakes are made in math. It was a decision to do something that he should not have been doing........ adultury.

These celebs should know better. They put themselves in compromising positions and then when things go wrong, they try to light peddle it.

Sorry if I seem lacking in compassion. I believe that everyone is responsible for their own behavior. Kobe seems like a nice guy but he is lacking in maturity and good sense and now he has to deal with it.

I hope he is innocent and I hope that he can pick up the pieces and start over with his life and his relationship with his wife.
 
These things are so hard to prove, one way or the other. A jury of 12 people who don't know either one of these two people at all will have to try to sift through piles of lies to figure out where the truth is. The worst part of that is, even after the trial only Kobe and the girl will still really know what happened. People will still think they know what really happened no matter what the jury says. Did the verdict in the OJ Simpson case really change your mind? Or had you already decided guilt or innocence? I have no doubt in my mind that he butchered those two people in cold blood, no matter what those twelve people decided. That will be the case here too. I really don't have any idea whether Kobe raped her, or if it was consentual. But, when more "facts" come out we will all form our own opinions.
