Kobe's accuser 'bragged' at a Party |
| Posted by: Marc Flemming | | Partygoer: She was happy
The young woman accusing Kobe Bryant of rape bragged about the alleged assault at a party last week - and gave a graphic description of the NBA star's anatomy, partygoers said.
Steve Evancho told NBC News that he was surprised when the 19-year-old woman showed up at his house party on July 15 - three days before prosecutors slapped Bryant with sex assault charges.
"She was bragging about the whole thing," Evancho said, adding that the woman seemed "happy. She was having fun."
She even answered a question about the 6-foot-7 L.A. Lakers star's manhood, five people at the party told NBC.
"She answered with a gesture and a description," said NBC correspondent Michelle Hofland. "They couldn't believe it."
A spokeswoman for the Eagle County, Colo., district attorney declined to comment on the story yesterday.
Other friends have said the woman was stunned and upset after the June 30 incident at the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera, where she worked at the front desk.
The report comes as a friend of the woman said the woman felt "a certain amount of chemistry with" Bryant when she showed him around the ritzy mountain resort near Vail.
After showing Bryant around the lavish lodge, she accepted his invitation to go to his room, Luke Bray told The Denver Post.
"She had thoughts of declining," Bray said. "But he had been nice. She felt safe about doing that."
Bryant raped her when she tried to leave, Bray said.
Conviction promised
Bray also echoed his wife, Starlene Bray, who has said the woman suffered obvious injuries.
"I can't wait for this to get in front of a jury so they can see what happened," Luke Bray said. "Their jaws will hit the floor, and they will convict him."
Bryant, married with a 6-month-old daughter, insists he had consensual sex with the woman.
Meanwhile, today's Globe supermarket tabloid published a photograph of the accuser on the cover with a black bar covering her eyes.
"This is the No. 1 face in America that people want to see, and so we decided to go with it," said editorial director Jim Lynch.
The woman's name is not mentioned.
Mainstream media outlets have refrained from identifying the accuser or showing her picture, though some of her personal information has appeared on the Internet and a syndicated radio talk-show host has aired her name.

| Posted by: jennd1321 | | why would she have gone back to the room if she was just raped....did anyone think about that!!! she wanted it but couldnt handle that it was a one night stand.....she is just starving for attention and even her friends know it!!!! | | Reply To this Message
|
| Posted by: Realist187 | | Reality Check.....Everything that has been said on this thread is pure BS based on hearsay, where is the evidence that she actually was at this party? If it was even remotely true the news agencies would be all over it. Everyone seems to blindly defend Kobe based on his celebrity and thats just wrong. I jus think its ignorant how people say things like "she wanted it" when they have no ****en clue what happened because they weren't there. No one really knows what happened- either he is lying or she is lying and just cause he's a celebrity does not mean he is more honest. The only thing we know for sure is Kobe admittedly had sex with a teenager while he was married. Along with his morals, values and respect he is going to lose multi-million dollar corporate sponsors for sure. | | Reply To this Message

Kobe may be superman, but even superman can't fight off kryptonite. We all know what the black man's kryptonite is. So, you can't blame Kobe, he can't help himself.

| Posted by: DeniseAlexandra | | He can't help himself....oh my......((rolling eyes)) Lets be happy not all black men believe their "kryptonite" is that. If he assaulted her, he's guilty. Black, white, purple.....If he didn't, and I don't believe he did, he's innocent. Black, white, purple.
We need to quit giving excuses for people based on race, and quit giving excuses for behaviors based on race....and yes, flip it around, we need to stop being more judgemental based on race, etc. Kobe being black has nothing to do with why he cheated. Can't cry "foul" on race only one way. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Jeem | | It's kinda hard to feel sympathy for the girl if she went to his room to have sex.
I think most men would find it hard to resist the sexual advances of a 19 year old thin blonde. It's common knowledge black men can't resist white girls... I think Kobe should get a pass. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: apriltoshera | | It's not the issue of race. It doesn't matter what race he is. I wouldn't use race as an issue or a scape goat in this case. What I am trying to figure out is, if she was so-called "raped or sexually assaulted", why is she going to parties bragging about the so-called "rapist's" manhood? Does that sound like someone who was raped or sexually assaulted? Then on the Abrahms report last night, the girl said that the whole incident started consensually and they started fooling around, then all the sudden it wasn't consentual. What is this? (rolling my eyes), please, give me a damn break!! That's just saying that she is not stable and thier is something she's not telling the truth about. And if you want to make race such an issue, ok I'll give you an issue. If this would have happened to black woman, it would not have been publicized so much, but due to the fact this happen to a blonde bombshell white woman, oh it's so highly publicized till it's a shame. I bet some of you don't think about that, now do you? | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: cheetah222 | | In today's world, for some women, "rape" is actually "regret" or just plain "revenge", but for others still, like this little hussy, "rape" means "riches"!
Regret: She regrets doing it or telling others about it so out of possible embarrassment or coaxing from her friends or family, she turns the story into forced sex. Rape.
Revenge: She doesn't really regret it per say, but perhaps he told her that sex that one night (or how ever many nights) is all he wanted from her and to get lost, so her revenge against him is to cry rape.
Riches: This one is obvious. There are girls and women who love to prey on celebrities hoping to hit pay dirt (like Bonnie Bakely did with Robert Blake - he was one of many possible "targets" she was interested in trapping with a child.), so it's not a far stretch to think that that's exactly what we have here, a gold digger. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: DeniseAlexandra | | Oh please. Yea, since black men can't resist us little white women, lets excuse their crimes?! Pullleeze.........Using race as an excuse is wrong, whether to advance or disadvance this case.
And personally, I think Kobe IS innocent of rape. I, however, do not think if a girl consents to "folling around" that she must then consent to intercourse. What a load of crap! No means no, and stop means stop. But do I believe this is what happened in THIS case? No. I believe in his innocence, on the rape accusation, and think she is using this to her own advantage.

| Posted by: Jeem | | What would fooling around be, if there was no sex involved? I just think it's wrong to convict a black man of raping a white girl, it just reminds me too much of Emmitt Till... especially if the girl went to him room to fool around. | | Reply To this Message

She could be in it for publicity, He could be trying to get away with a crime.this reporter's story is typical B.S " I heard from a guy who heard from a guy"??? lets wake UP HERE!!! IF he is innocent i hope the charges are dismissed . But if the He is truly guilty , i hope he gets life. end of story  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: DeniseAlexandra | | Young and Restless, I totally agree! *I* think it's wrong to convict ANYONE of rape if they did not do it......but race has nothing to do with that. And nor does her going to see him in his room. A woman IS entitled to change her mind. She may have expected fooling around, and not sex, or plain changed her mind, and as long as she made it clear that she wanted it to stop, if he did not, it IS rape. Legally too. However I do believe she consented to it......sex too. I believe, hope, that if she did indeed say no, Kobe would have stopped.....because she said no, and because he's not that dumb to risk something like not taking her "no" for what it is, a NO. (And yes, I could be wrong, and yes, maybe he did refuse to listen to her saying no, I just don't believe it)
April, OJ got more attention over Mike Tyson because it was made to be a race trial...and it was a murder trial....and because OJ claimed innocence, Mike admitted guilt.
(((Whispering......I think Kobe is innocent, Mike is guilty, and OJ was let free wrongly.....)))) | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: djcarra | | first of all, everyone here is entitled to their opinions. i myself think kobe is innocent, and that the girl had false hopes of a relationship. what we hear and see about her on the news gives us the right to make judgement on her.
secondly, why is the race thing even a consideration?? so what he was black and she was white! the point is he is male and she is female, and she is alledging rape. rape is a violent crime regardless of race.this race thing is annoying. i myself am ojibwe of the white earth nation...and you dont hear me complaining of the misgivings or other bs, of the native americans? in fact, u dont hear much of that period.
it is also possible for people of any age to fool around, and not have sex. just because she went to the room doesnt mean she wanted to have sex. that is just an issue of self control. some people have it and some dont. some people accept it, and some dont.
again, i believe he is innocent, but that is my belief, i may be wrong......  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Rowdy | | Very interesting thread. Everyone here is oblivious to the fact that we live in the US, on the surface White, Black, Yellow, Brown doesn't matter... but within the system it all does. Many whites see it, yet they ignore it, some others don't see it or just oblivious to it. This is not about everyone, but we are looking at prosecutors, lawyers - aged 40-55 here, now is anyone here willing tell me these same people who are now pressing charges against Kobe and licking their chops at the opportunity were protesting for the black kids to go on same school buses, protesting for equal rights??? I don't think so -. Regardless of what the story is Kobe has a disadvantage here I think we all should know that and see the reality here.
Each case is different, not one victim will act the same way but most follow a pattern. So bragging at a party is out of the norm for a victim, usually you don't talk about it, and avoid public interaction. If the past sucide attempts etc etc were to be true of the victim, yes I do see the chance of her pulling this stunt for publicity. What does the average American 19 year old girl look for, starve for? Attention and recognition. Some choose the wrong path, which may very well be in this case.
I cannot make an assumption about the prosecutor, but if what I have read so far were to be true, I only see jealous white prosecutors who are trying to bring down a young black athlete who has achieved what they are unable to acheive in their lifetime. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: DeniseAlexandra | | I am just saying "tat" cause *I* am white? LOL. Ok, whatever. How about seeing this case how it should be seen? If you are going to make this into a racial case, you need to be willing to accept all sides to that. You cannot claim race, or being black, for a reason or excuse....and then cry foul cause you are prosecuted and are claiming it was because you are black. It does not work like that. Attitudes like *yours* are what encourage the racial divide, in cases like this as well.
All races need to be seen as equal, and that includes in and of the race itself. I realize racism still occurs, and it should not. But I am also tired of people using their race as an excuse for crimes, or to get this or that.
Again, once more, I do not think Kobe is guilty.....is that cause I am white? Cause logic, using yours, says if race IS coming into play for me, I'd be saying he was guilty. Go figure, huh? | | Reply To this Message

i think u r absolutely correct! race is not the issue. rape is. and i too believe he is innocent. i have a feeling it will all come out in the end, that she was just scorn. that is all. if it doesnt and he does do prison time......i will be shocked.

Sorry to blow your bubble, I do understand the issue here is not a race issue, but alleged rape. But I was just shedding a bit of reality for all those who think this world is so equal. I think not and I know not.
I completely agree with you that regardless of race anyone who's at fault for commiting a crime should be procecuted. We're living in a country where CA banned Oreo cookies cuz of fat? Now is there a reason why companies place nutritional facts on the back? Yes. In a place where accountability is slipping away from who is accountable and some are pointing fingers at others for what they temselves did, I agree that there should be no excuses cuz of color or social decree when holding someone accountable for thier faults.
None of us can make a judgement on who is guilty and who is not, because none of us know the actual facts. Having said that, there is always a party that has advantage in court and a party that walks into a court with a disadvantage, I was just pointing that out.
I hope Kobe is innocent, he is the one who has the most to loose, so I really doubt that he would be willing to "rape" someone knowing what he will face and knowing the stakes. Every decision we make there is a trade off, I doubt anyone in their right mind will make a decision to "rape" and potentially loose everything they worked hard to acheive?

It could have happened to a white colored basketball player as well. Let's say, Ostertag from the Jazz. Ok, she says he raped her; he says she wanted to get laid. So they investigate. Now they've determined that force was involved with the intercorse. No Duuh! Black or white, you do need to "force" a large ***** into a small 19yr olds loins to have sex. It dosen't prove a thing. Bragging about having sex with him at a party- that's proves something. The sick little adultress was going to boff someone sooner or later. It just happened to be Kobe. Now it's a race issue like it or not. Bigger *****, bigger star, bigger thrill; that is, until daddy finds out who penitrated his little angel. See, now she's not bragging. She's ashamed of what she's done.
Kobe will be found innocent. | | Reply To this Message

Honestly, people need to just stfu and wait for the evidence to be presented. It's entire possible that Kobe raped the girl and it's entirely possible he didn't. Time reveals all truth.
It's disgusting how many people act like they were in the room and witnessed the event. None of you were there, none of you know jack sh*t about what happened.....So settle down. | | Reply To this Message

i completely agree with this. yeah, she went to his room, yeah, she expected something....but to be raped?? (if that is the case!!) it is not right in ANY situation to say that the female should have expected this, or she deserved this. i am sure the majority of u, would feel the same way if it was ur mother or sister.....NO WOMAN DESERVES TO BE RAPED!!! (again, if this is the case.)

This woman clearly wanted something and went after it. Why should Kobe have to pay for that now? The fact that Kobe is a celebrity is the whole reason why stupid ***** are trying to take him down like this. Vanessa,stand by your man.

This is the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. "To hold a girl responsible"???WTF?? What Girl?? Just a correction, this is no girl you're talking about. This is a woman! This is a woman who was sexually active so why compare her to a child's innocense?

How many people does it take to come forward and say that they witnessed her doing this before you acknowledge that it is in fact true?!
Here's a little "eduMAcation" for you........let's say I don't like you too much, and I want to get you into some legal trouble. I convince one of my female friends to say that you raped her and I convince another female friend that she should say that she saw you rape the first girl. That's where I come in as the second witness and say that I also witnessed you raping the first girl.
The two girls and myself decide to go down to the trusty police station to file a report of rape against you just because we think that you're a prick........do you think that you would get arrested?
You can bet your sweet ass that I just threw a BIG wrench in the machine that makes up your lifestyle, and if you don't have a VERY convincible alibi, a conviction is only a matter of time.
My point is that two or more witnesses saying the same story is almost concrete when it comes to law. There are 5 in this case saying that she was in fact bragging about his manhood. She's a lying peice of trash that has NO CLUE what it's like to be truly raped. He will be found innocent and if I were in charge, I would prosecute her in some manner for lying about the whole incident and causing a disruption in so many lives besides her measley, pathetic own life.
The next time she attempts suicide, someone should give her instructions on how to be successful.....

| Posted by: Dirk1175 | | OJ, ran from the police and engauged in a car pursuit with a gun to his head. I certainly didn't see anything even close to that magnitude with what Kobe did. OJ was overwhelmingly guilty in everyone's eyes, and lucky for him, he had a predominantly African-American jury that must have been doing their nails and talking on cell phones rather than paying attention to the evidence in front of them.
Kobe held his head in shame because he committed adultery and tried to hide it from his wife and kid! Shame is a rather common emotion that one displays once you are busted and forced to speak about it in front of your significant other, don't you think?
As far as it all being staged, that's simply an ignorant comment that I refuse to reply to..... | | Reply To this Message

Could it be just another hearsay story? The fact pattern most favorable to Kate. Their version of Kate's events is published inOctober's Newsweek Magazine from MSNBC:<---Click Here

A friend of the accuser tells a different story. This friend, who requests anonymity, told NEWSWEEK she had spoken with the accuser and the accuser’s ex-boyfriend, who appeared Saturday on CBS’s “48 Hours.” According to the friend, [the accuser] was “attacked as soon as she [the accuser] walked through the door.” There was “aggressive groping with no warning,” the friend says, “followed by sex.”
How these competing versions compare with what prosecutors and defense lawyers will present in court remains to be seen. Hurlbert, citing the judge’s gag order, declined to comment; Bryant’s team did the same. Now, left to ponder how this wunderkind came to be accused of a crime that could land him in prison for life |

Well, I'm also new here you pple, but willing to wait for the rest of the facts - still presuming Kobe innocent until proven guilty. So far, Eagle DA Hurlbert ain't got the goods on Kobe with their star witness Katelyn as a documented mental case, attempting suicide twice before crying "rape." You think that brotha guilty before seeing and hearing ALL the evidence . It's like saying Kobe the underdog already lost the entire game at end of first quarter. So far at Prelimary Hearing, the State with Detective Winters testifying, the evidence was weak; in fact, so little that under any criminal trial cannot get over the hoops of beyond a reasonable doubt. You would be one of those that will hang the jury. You based your decision simply on "how" he acted "after" and NOT based on the evidence "before" Katelyn crying "wolf."
http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/images/I38660-2003Nov13 The battle will come down to a defensive game. Prosecution takes your approach with fuzzy wuzzy stuff called "circumstantial" pre-trial stuff. Take a look at the State's evidence before and during allegation . Nothing so far because Defensive game NOT started yet. Pit-bull Pam Mackey will tear up DA Hurlbert's game plan. She lined up nine court witnesses this Thursday 12/18/03 and The State of Colorado got so confused that even Judge Ruckriedgle called for a time out to evaluate the last play in court. And you already say....Kobe is guilty as hell without any hard evidence? Where's HIS DNA? You think running is guilty? He didn't and owned up to adultery, not rape. Okay, we've scored and tied the game. Here's the ball and your turn coming down the court of public opinion with three quarter's to go. I'll take the points in the away game . <--- Just Click Here

Accuser's family attends Bryant court hearing - By MICHAEL C. BENDER
EAGLE — Family of the woman accusing NBA superstar Kobe Bryant of rape made their first public appearance in district court Thursday as both defense and prosecuting attorneys told the judge they expect the trial to last two to three weeks. The accuser’s family, including both parents, two brothers and a cousin, filed into the courtroom moments before Bryant’s 12-minute hearing began. Thursday was Bryant’s first appearance before the judge who will preside over the trial. The accuser’s family sat emotionless and afterwards did not speak with reporters. Several times they looked across the courtroom at Bryant but mostly remained focused on the judge...
The family’s appearance did not score prosecutors any points with local legal experts, who criticized the District Attorney’s Office for failing to put pressure on the judge for a speedy trial and for haggling over what they called minor details. "The longer a trial goes on, the more of an advantage the defense has," said Jim Farenholtz, chief deputy district attorney in Eagle from 1986-88. "Memories fade, witnesses disappear. I don’t see an advantage for prosecutors by dragging this out." Colorado law allows for sexual assault cases to be given highest priority on a court’s schedule of cases. |

OJ, ran from the police and engauged in a car pursuit with a gun to his head. I certainly didn't see anything even close to that magnitude with what Kobe did. OJ was overwhelmingly guilty in everyone's eyes, and lucky for him, he had a predominantly African-American jury that must have been doing their nails and talking on cell phones rather than paying attention to the evidence in front of them.
Kobe held his head in shame because he committed adultery and tried to hide it from his wife and kid! Shame is a rather common emotion that one displays once you are busted and forced to speak about it in front of your significant other, don't you think?
As far as it all being staged, that's simply an ignorant comment that I refuse to reply to..... |
what he said wat stupid and he just needs to take a step back see that he was like that cuz he got caught cheating on his wife, shiit id cry to if i knew i wasnt getting any more pdussy till my next roda trip! now what you said about the juror was ignorant and rascist my friend

This woman clearly wanted something and went after it. Why should Kobe have to pay for that now? The fact that Kobe is a celebrity is the whole reason why stupid ***** are trying to take him down like this. Vanessa, stand by your man. |

This is the text of a statement released on behalf of Kobe Bryant through his attorneys, Harold Haddon and Pamela Robillard Mackey, and his agent Rob Pelinka
| quote: |
"I am innocent of the charges filed today. I did not assault the woman who is accusing me.
"I made the mistake of adultery. I have to answer to my wife and my God for my actions that night and I pray that both will forgive me.
"Nothing that happened June 30th was against the will of the woman who now falsely accuses me.
"These false allegations have hurt my family. I will fight against these allegations with all my strength. My wife is the strongest person I know. She is willing to stand by me despite my mistake. That means everything to me.
"I have so much to live for. And by that I do not mean the contracts, or the money, or the fame. I mean my family. I will fight for them.
"I appreciate all those who have supported me. Thank you for believing in me. My family and I are going to need your support and prayers now more than ever." |

| Posted by: Ken NJ | | http://www.you-are-a-huge-nerd.com/public/freepix/WWKD1.jpg Compare this funny photo of the two heights and body sizes (if it comes up.) The State of Colorado didn't press charges on sodomy against Kobe. There is no evidence of that at the Preliminary Hearing, nor of unusually large cuts and lesions when examined by the Hospital Nurse. ] < --- Just Click Here He entered her in the back but that tearing could simply because of Kate's bigger appetite than intended by a small frame, not compatible with a foot taller huge athlete. It's not like she had no knowledge about penetration activities, having had sex apparently with three men on three different days (facts disclosed at PH.) It's just that she misjudged in the beginning moments knocking on Kobe's door near midnight, consenting to kissing, petting and going around the bases. Once started, apparently she felt lots of discomfort and when asking Kobe to stop - he in fact did. Then she left on her own free will. It's the morning after effect (hangover, guilt, shame and bleeding) that seems to be in dispute. Kate and Mom want to hang Kobe for rape which is under contention. Did she or didn't she consented? That's the big question. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: djcarra | | sodomy is illegal period in colorado...whether she wanted it or not....and by the way what does her being with other guys have anything to do with it?? im sure u know women ie....ur mom, sister, aunts, whomever that have been with more than one guy and probably more than five!! im sure she consented, but was physically in pain later, and probably realized her opportunity. she is in the wrong if she is lying, he is in the wrong period......he commited adultery, that is a sin. just one of those times where he should have practiced better judgement. unfortunately for most of these superstars, whether it be sports, film, television....they tend to think that they are immortal, and nothing with conflict with their status. and again, unfortunately for him, he made a huge mistake. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Ken NJ | | http://www.kobetimes.com/news_images/125_kate002.jpg The only thing I can see relevant would be the immediate proximity with the physical injuries Kate claims she suffered from Kobe's penetration and restraint which co-incidentally occurred at around the exact timeframe when she had sex with three different persons within three days. All Kate's boyfriends she dated more than a year ago probably have no relevance because she doesn't make any claims from those earlier physical bruises. The State need to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that other boy friends' contacts didn't caused her private area lesions and tear as well as the half penny bruise. Small bruises take days to show up. | | Reply To this Message

ur right, it is a dumb law. people should be allowed to do whatever and whomever they wish without the law being involved. u being and ORPHAN.... i assume, has nothing to do with anything. and NO who she has been with before has NOTHING to do with it....that is just ridiculous. if it coincides within the same timeline....yes, but not just because she has had sex with guys before.....hell, maybe that is why ur and ORPHAN.... u know too many guys to determine ONE.

| Posted by: Ken NJ | | It's not just the law you're question as being dumb, but also the Colorado State, the Eagle County Sheriff Hoy, the Eagle State Prosecutor Hurlbert and Crittenden, the Judiciary as well as the local yokels. Perhaps, they're just looking to put themselves on the map with the Kobe publicity and don't really care much if Kate's case is strong and a winner.

And what news did you see that piece of testimony? Should be interesting. Any mainstream American news will never publish or broadcast such without Kate's own testimony on the record. If you heard it or read it from oversea's tabloid, then discount that because it's simply hearsay crap. It's doubtful what you thought you read or heard is anything but that. It's not that I don't believe you; it's the source.

no no no no no no no, nooo!
i was refering to your post about the fact that no legitamite media would announce that. thas a joke, dont you rember them annoucing the winners b4 the polls were in and counted, rember they backtracked a few times, not just then just as recently as wen they caught saddam.
cnn was televising that they MIGHT have saddam in custody, that it was a possibility, but not official, not sure it was him, and there usaully like the first after white house officials to get info, yet at the same time over on cbs, after they got the news , later mind you, there were saying they caught him, it WAS offical that it WAS him, without anything to back it up, hey you can start a whole new forum on the mistakes and stupid things the media does, legit media

The Bellboy (the witness) refused to do a DNA test - he just didn't want them to link one of those DNA samples collected to him.
As far as her injury - she never been with a black man before and the size of his penis was just too big for her and he POPPED that cherry. |
Curiosity kills the cat!
http://www.badjocks.com/images/katelyn_faber_globe1.JPG And there is nothing in it for her boyfriend at work to take the dna test either. If Kate's mother KNEW better, she would never have force Kate to tell the police. Now that mom didn't KNOW what own daughter was up to, the report will be shown to be false. Very embarassing for the Faber family and I feel bad for them. If Kate withdraws her cooperation or confesses to a false report, you think the Fabers are going to file a civil suit trying to score millions? Hmmmmm
