If you accuse of someone so sinister and brutal, you better step up to the plate and be accounted then and not back tracking statements later like she did. Shouting rape doesnt automatically makes its true although I will always try to side with the victim making the accusations as I did in her case in the beginning. Anyway, I'm not going this route. It was a fun thread. Not anymore, its tainted now. Take it easy.

So he says that from her POV, it wasn't consensual. That, to me, is an admission of rape. And, anytime someone brings up something to do with that man, I will continue to bring up the fact that he's a rapist. Just because a woman decides she's not strong enough to face her accuser in court does not mean her accuser is innocent. Kobe is a rapist, plain and simple, and should not be ANYONE's hero.

Now before we begin I'm sorry it's the lawyer in me. In most cases women have up to 24h to decide if sex was "rape" or not. That means "completely consensual sex" can be "rape" if the woman deems it so. I don't know/care much about the Kobe case.

That act was entirely consensual, and then she decided to exploit it. He's a creep for the adultery part of it, but that girl in Colorado was and is no innocent victim. Period. Kobe paid the price for celebrity sex.
