In a statement Sunday, authorities said the warrant was issued after deputies investigated a report made Wednesday claiming sexual misconduct by Bryant.

The report said the incident happened in a hotel in the Edwards area of Eagle County that night.

After a series of interviews and a review of the physical evidence, investigators met with representatives for District Attorney Mark Hurlbert and concluded they had enough evidence for the felony sexual assault count, the statement said.

"During the investigation Bryant was cooperative with investigators and remains cooperative with authorities," the sheriff's office said in a prepared statement.....

I don't follow basketball, but my first thought when I heard about this, is that maybe Kobe Bryant is the victim of a golddigger.

Kobe is young, and very rich. Why would he have to force a woman to have sex with? I'm sure women would willingly go to bed with him.

Didn't his wife have a baby recently? I know he's at least married.

I was shocked when i heard this too. Kobe is married & he just had a baby this past season. This doesn't surprise me cause athletes are very weak for women. Male entertainers are weak for women period. When women groupies just throw themselves at these entertainers, men act like they don't know how to say no. Most men always think about sex & when something like this happens, then they look stupid & they wanna apologize to the fans & their family. Remember when James Worthy a former Lakers player of the 80's got busted a long time ago by a policewoman who was posing as a prostitute? He was married at the time. Eddie Murphy got caught messing with a dude who was a prostitute dressed up as a woman LOL. Eddie said he just likes to take female prostitues off the street & get them to do something else with their lives. Yeah right hahahahahahahaha.

Kobe is not a cool guy, he is a punk! Every idiot out there who has compared him to Jordan just made him have a huge ego. By the way this man is nothing compared to Michael Jordan. And yeah he is married and has a kid but that doesn't mean he is a great guy. Jerks are everywhere and it doesn't matter if they are millionares or on welfare, or even basketball stars, they will live their life how they plz. I never liked Kobe.

I was in shock when I read about it in the paper today.

There have been numerous cases of people in the entertainment industry being accused of this stuff, and many times it turns out to be a lie on the accusers part to make money. Hopefully that is the case in this situation. I think everyone should hear both sides of the story before making any judgments, or accusations. Iv'e heard absolutely no evidence yet that supports this womans claims, and until I do, I will not judge. It will be interesting to see how this turns out in the end. Hopefully Kobe is innocent. Iv'e always been a fan of his. But if he is guilty, I will lose alot of respect for him.

He was there for surgery of some sort.

MonarC · 07-08-2003, 05:19 PM

that makes no sence! The man was having sergery and his wife wasn't with him?

So dumb!

*PinkLady* · 07-08-2003, 05:50 PM

He's one of a long line of professional athletes having trouble with the law. I wonder what it is about pro sports that makes those guys turn into criminals.

well you can take the kid out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the kid

no matter if they are millionares they still have the same character traits... or they are just stupid!

that is so true!!!

Amp2K3 nice sig of Michael Jordan. Anyway i doubt it if Kobe was raised in the hood in Pennsylvania. He seems like he was raised in the suburbs. There is some evidence so far from the police of Kobe's semen & it's a match. So he obviously tried to have sex with her. He should've had his wife with him. Kobe seems like he's guilty to me. Why would he turn himself in if he wasn't guilty?
