EAGLE, Colo. -- The woman who accused NBA star Kobe Bryant of sexual assault
called her mother the day after the incident and begged her to come home.
There, the woman said: "Mom, I was raped last night," according to
previously sealed documents released Friday.
"I could tell something was wrong. She kind of mumbled things and the way
she walked in, her tone of voice," the mother said during a conversation
with an unidentified interviewer in August 2003, little more than a month
after the alleged attack at a Vail-area resort where Bryant was a guest and
the woman was a front-desk employee.
"She didn't want to tell me anything at that time," the mother said. "I knew
she would tell me when she was ready."
"Mom, you need to come home. I need to talk to you," she said, according to
the interview transcript from prosecution investigator Gerry Sandberg. When
she arrived, she said her daughter had been in bed crying and asked the teen
what was wrong.
"Mom, I was raped last night," her daughter said, then told her mother it
was Bryant.
In a Sept. 12, 2003, interview with Boulder County district attorney's
investigator Tom Bennett, the woman said she didn't want to report the
alleged attack to authorities.
When Bennett asked why, she said "I, I wondered if people would believe me.
I really didn't think anybody would. ... Because of who Mr. Bryant is."
Also included in the documents was a report from an investigator with the
New Mexico attorney general's office, who helped with the case. She had
talked with teenagers in Calgary, Alberta, where the accuser traveled
several months after the alleged attack.
One of the teenagers, Kylie Robinson, said she felt the woman was not
behaving like a rape victim, but said she understood people can react
differently.
"Kylie did not feel that [redacted] was a victim of a sexual assault because
she seemed to make a joke of it and commented about money she was going to
get from the trial," the investigator wrote.
Last month, Bryant's attorneys abruptly dropped a bid to permanently seal
evidence in the case and claimed the woman had retracted portions of her
previous statements to investigators in a letter written on July 31, 2004.
That letter was released Friday but there were no bombshells.
In it, the woman admitted she had lied about why she was late to work the
day of the incident: She had overslept, not run into car trouble.
She also said she had wrongly told investigator Doug Winters that Bryant had
"made me stay in the room and wash my face."
"While I was held against my will in that room, I was not forced to wash my
face," she wrote to Sandberg. "I know that none of these things change what
happened, but I wanted you to know."
At one point, the mother was asked how she feels about her daughter's
truthfulness.
"She is honest with me about the important things," she replied. "She is a
normal teenager."
Investigators also spoke with Dave Pietrack, whose son, resort bellman Bobby
Pietrack, was among the first to see the woman after the incident in
Bryant's room and followed her home in his car before going home.
The younger Pietrack woke up his parents and went with his father to the
kitchen to talk.
"Dad, you're not going to [expletive] believe me, you're going to think I'm
lying. Kobe Bryant raped [redacted]," Pietrack told his father.
The elder Pietrack asked if it was possible the woman was lying.
His son said "it would have had to be the most incredible acting job as
[redacted] actions with him that night in the parking lot were crying
uncontrollably, shaking, near hysteria."
Pietrack also said the woman told him Bryant had warned her "no one would
believe you."

So where in this article is the accuser's lie buried?

Or she's nuts. Or, Bobby Pietrack is in on the scheme. Why
didn't she say ANYTHING to the female night auditor? But
to her boyfriend she is "near hysteria"?

So that's FOUR lies she's admitted to now.
The two above, along with lying to Matt Herr about showering, and lying to
Kobe about going to the spa with him. She ADMITTED to all of these. Who
knows how many more there are.

I think she has earned the death penalty for her multiple lies.

rifles and night vision systems are constitutionally protected.
