What happened in the rape claim case against NBA star Kobe Bryant that was dropped in 2004?
What was the allegation?
In June 2003, Bryant went to Edwards, Colorado for knee surgery, staying at the luxury Lodge and Spa at Cordillera.
The then 24-year-old Los Angeles Lakers player was already a household name.
By 2003, he had played in three championships for the Lakers, who took out back-to-back NBA titles in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
The woman, who was not identified and was 19 at the time, told police Bryant raped her in his room on June 30 after arriving at the hotel near the skiing town of Vail.
She was a concierge at the hotel and a college student.
Bryant was arrested in early July and said while he’d had consensual sex with her, he denied the assault.
He was already married to wife Vanessa, and his first daughter Natalia was born in January 2003. In his public statement after the alleged assault, Vanessa appeared alongside him but did not speak. [Read more: abc.net]

So we’re all just… ignoring the whole Kobe rape accusation thing I guess huh?
I think Kobe Bryant is an amazing basketball player. I also think he raped that girl and got away with it because he’s an amazing basketball player.
Both things can exist as the truth.
Let me get this straight. Last night’s theme was all about treating women with respect. So who wins an #Oscar2018? @kobebryant, who was credibly accused of rape, paid the accuser a settlement and issued her a written apology! Can’t make this up?
The reality is that most of those who are grieving Bryant are simply not thinking about his accuser very much at all [Read more: theguardian.com]
