    Kobe's accuser 'bragged'

    Partygoer: She was happy

    By DEREK ROSE
    DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

    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.

    Stories like that a so ridiculous. I heard from my neighbour's sister who has a friend that heard from their son's school teacher who knows a teacher in eagle, who taught a student that knows the hairdresser of the girl and she said this so called "unnamed partygoer" doesn't know what he's talking about when he said she bragged about it. :rolleyes:
