The poll is split right down the middle... Anyway, wouldn't it seem more plausible for an older person to make false accusations of rape, than a child to make false accusations of molestation?
What about a girl with a history of mental illness and was taking medication for it? Especially schizophrenia? Kobe definitely wasn't an angel in this case but things happen in the heat of the moment and there's no doubt in my mind if she had made it clear she didn't want to fool around with him from the beginning (or before they started kissing for 5 minute), Kobe wouldn't have touched her.
Am I missing something? One old rape thread bumped, a new one about an old ass case started....Nice Rollin, have you been charged with rape or something?
What does that have to do with anything? Just because a girl kisses a guy for five minutes and fools around doesn't mean she's given consent to have sex. My goodness. If she said no at any point, it doesn't matter what happened before. If she said no and he did it anyway, that's rape. Period. As Kobe basically admitted.
Do you know what shizophrenia is? It's someone who has trouble in perceiving reality. This can be pretty dangerous when it comes to leading someone on... she also didn't make it clear when the oral sex took place (she added this to her story later), which is normally foreplay. Most good looking women (they have less insecurities) like being dominated sexually as well so I doubt Bryant knew he was in the wrong considering how women normally react to him.
I guess it's not a fact that Mike Jackson said he invited kids over to his house and slept with them.
http://www.vaildaily.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040915/NEWS/40916001&rs=2 has anyone his initial police interview? this was news to me: he apparently has sex with a girl named Michelle all the time..
He admitted it. You can make excuses for him all you want, pointing to her sexual history, her mental stability, what "most good looking women (LOL!)" want in bed, etc. and it won't ever erase the fact that she was bloody and bruised, there was blood on his shirt, and he admitted guilt.
i dont know..ur taking this bloody and bruised thing over the top.. having sex with multiple men in 3 days can lead to things. and how do you distinguish rough sex with rape sex? couldnt the same bruises and tearing occur? i think she went along with that at that time (without saying yes or no) and then figured that she can turn the story.
I don't know how much weight, if any, can honestly be applied to what you want to call his "admission of guilt." The statement that you are referring to was a statement of apology that was one of the conditions of the girl having the charges dropped. The main points of the statement would have been requested by the girl, and it was probably written by Kobe's lawyers. There are a lot of arguments that can be made for Kobe being guilty, but using this statement as proof is an unrealistic and ignorant assertion.
The difference between Michael Jackson and Kobe Bryant is, Sheila Jackson Lee didn't show up at Kobe Bryant's trial. "Where-as Ms. Jackson Lee should prepare to lose the Democratic Primary in 2010"
