Kobe Bryant’s case dismissed

But his statement is interesting —

First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colo.

I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado.

  1. Translation: I raped her, but I am a rich athlete so I get to buy my way out of this one. Further, the only women in this country who can truly go forward with a rape case are virgins or nuns who absolutely have no sexual history whatsoever. If you do, the defense will destroy you. So it’s a free pass for rich rapists.

  2. Is this cocky, wealthy, sexual-predator-come-idiot for real? I mean, did her ever think of apologizing publicly, to, say, his WIFE? I hope he gets exploding diarreah every day for the rest of his sexual life. When his penis falls off the diarreah can stop. Then they should take his penis and put it somewhere it can’t hurt any more people.
