Charges have been filed against Kobe for a class 3 felony. Sexual assault....all boils down to rape really. The prosecutor says he has witness and physical evidence?

Minimum term of 4 years in jail if found guilty, maximum 20 years.

Poor Kobe, first court date August 6th. Gotta hope San Quentin has a nice court :D
 
Wonder if his wife will dump his arse.

Even if found not guilty, he's still been rooting around (by his own admission).

If you've ever seen his wife, you'd realise that this guy is a tool of the greatest order.

At least Jordan had an excuse for rooting around ;)

Funny you should mention this.

Vanessa Bryant's statement:

"I know that my husband has made a mistake -- the mistake of adultery. He and I will have to deal with that within our marriage, and we will do so. He is not a criminal. I know that he did not commit a crime, he did not assault anyone. He is a loving and kind husband and father. I believe in his innocence. Because I know him to be innocent, I will stand by him and we will face this together. I will give him all the strength and support he needs to face these false accusations. I will not let him face these accusations alone. I know Kobe better than anyone. The great person you see on the court and in the public is a far greater person off the court."

LOL :D

"Oh, I get it. It's because he's a pretty boy. It's because he hasn't r*ped or murdered anybody in the past few weeks. That's why Kobe Bryant isn't the NBA's best player in everyone's eyes.

Bryant accuser earlier overdosed amid anguish, friends say

By HEATHER LOURIE and MARCIA C. SMITH
The Orange County Register

EAGLE, Colo. - Everyone here knew her as the popular Eagle Valley Senior High School cheerleader springing with vibrant spirit and sweet smiles, as the beautiful singer always ready to perform in school musicals with the clearest voice and the strongest heart.

But her close friends have been doggedly protecting a secret in the unnerving days since the 19-year-old woman accused Los Angeles Lakers All-Star Kobe Bryant of forcing her to have sex with him - a secret that Bryant's attorneys could use to undermine her credibility, legal experts say.

Two months before the woman went to the Eagle County Sheriff's Department on July 1 alleging that Bryant had sexually assaulted her, the woman suffered under such mental anguish that she overdosed on pills and was rushed to a hospital, her friends told The Orange County Register.

"I think it was just a cry for help," said Lindsey McKinney, 18, who lived at the woman's house in May, when the woman took the pills.

The Register is not naming the woman because of the sensitive nature of the case.

McKinney was visiting other friends when, at about 2 a.m. one day, she learned from the woman's ex-boyfriend that the woman had "overdosed."

McKinney rushed to the woman's Eagle home and found the woman incoherent, lethargic and seemingly drunk.

"I was scared. She wasn't really talking at all," McKinney said. "I was like, `... you need to open your eyes.'"

Moments later, the woman's parents awoke and called 911. An ambulance responded and took the woman to a hospital, McKinney said.

Some friends said they thought the overdose was an accident. Not McKinney.

"I don't think it was accidental. I was there," McKinney said.

The police dispatch call that night is currently sealed from the public by investigators. The Register's request for the records is the subject of legal action.

Legal experts say an overdose and the woman's apparent mental instability could undermine her credibility in what is bound to be a trial of character, pitting a young, small-town woman against a popular big-city basketball hero who makes more than $11 million a year selling his wholesome image.

"This is powerful evidence and the answer to the defense's prayers," said Robert Pugsley, a criminal law professor at Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles.

The defense attorneys are "looking for a way to demonstrate that this woman is hysterical and over-reactive," Pugsley said. "This is literally dynamite evidence, a bonanza for the defense and a landmine for prosecution."

Pugsley said this kind of evidence, if exploited by the defense, could be enough to stop the case before it reaches trial.

"They (Bryant's defense attorneys) could say that her interpretation of the events is at total odds with what really occurred, which was an act of mutual intercourse."

Another legal expert said this information could cause the prosecutor to worry.

"Emotional instability is always of great concern when you are evaluating a witness's credibility," said Paul Meyer, a former Orange County homicide prosecutor and criminal defense attorney.

District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, who charged Bryant with one count of a Class 3 felony sexual assault Friday, was unavailable for comment Saturday night.

The woman's father declined to comment Saturday.

According to the complaint, Bryant, 24, of Newport Coast, Calif., forced himself to have sex with the woman against her will June 30 at the Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, where the woman worked at the front desk and where Bryant had been a guest from June 30 to July 2.

On Friday, Bryant publicly admitted that he committed adultery with the woman, but said he is innocent of assault. His attorneys could not be reached for comment Saturday.

The woman's friends said her difficult year doesn't mean she lied about the alleged sexual assault.

"I know she had been going through a lot, but I know that she wouldn't lie," said Ashley Scriver, 19, of Eagle, who also acknowledges the overdose.

Friends of the woman say she was distraught to have returned home from her freshman year at the University of Northern Colorado at Greeley to discover that her ex-boyfriend - her high-school sweetheart - had begun dating another woman.

"There just seems like there is a lot of things going wrong in her life," said Tyson Ivie, 18, a classmate, who called the overdose "a big secret" that friends have been unwilling to talk about until now.

"The police station is holding back information about her," he said.

Around the same time of her overdose, the woman mourned the loss of a close friend, Nicole Clements, 18, who had rolled her Chevy truck over in Burns, Colo., while returning from Red Canyon High School graduation June 1.

"She was going through a lot, but she was strong," said Nicole McDonough, an Eagle Valley Senior High schoolmate and neighbor of the woman.

"It was kind of boom, boom, boom," McKinney said, feeling compassion for her friend.

"I think the things that happened to her in the past had a lot to do with what (she said) happened that night."

That night, that is, that changed the lives of a young woman and a basketball superstar forever.
