Basketball star Kobe Bryant filed a formal answer Tuesday to Katelyn Faber's
federal lawsuit, denying he raped her more than a year ago in Eagle County.
"The plaintiff consented to all actions taken by Mr. Bryant during their
encounter on June 30, 2003," the answer said.
Bryant, who is married, has admitted having sex with Faber at the mountain
resort where she was an employee and he was a guest, but he has insisted it
was consensual.
Bryant's answer agreed with Faber that, after he checked in, he asked her
for a tour of the hotel.
But it denied Faber's contention that Bryant made the request outside the
hearing of his bodyguards and that he asked her to come to his room to
escort him on a private tour.
Bryant agreed that he and Faber "engaged in mutual flirtation."
Bryant denied inviting her to join him in his jacuzzi. He also denied
blocking her exit from the room, asking her for a hug and beginning to kiss
her lips and neck, as alleged in the suit.
Instead, according to his answer, "Mr. Bryant admits that while he and
plaintiff were in Mr. Bryant's hotel room they began kissing and fondling
each other. Mr. Bryant denies the averments . . . that suggest that Mr.
Bryant solely initiated this behavior."
He also denied that Faber asked him to stop or that he again blocked her
exit from the room or that he choked her, bent her over a chair or had sex
with her against her will, as she has alleged.
Finally, Bryant denied Faber's allegation that he has a history of forcing
women he had just met to have sex with him, establishing a pattern of such
behavior.
Faber filed the civil lawsuit against Bryant in August. It seeks unspecified
damages.
Criminal charges were filed against Bryant in Eagle County but were
dismissed last month during jury selection when Faber said she would not
proceed as a witness in the criminal case.

If she alleged that, he should counter-sue.

If she alleged that, and if it's not true, he certainly should. I wonder if
he will.

I agree.
If she cannot prove it in court, then she could be liable for the
damages.

She didn't allege it; her attorneys did. I would assume that her
attorney has at least one witness prepared to testify about this
(probably the woman from the party who said he grabbed her breasts.)
If they can get someone to provide a statement, then they haven't
slandered at all. The only target for slander would be the person who
made the statement.

You think he wants this whole story in the papers for even longer? You
think that's good for his endorsement income ever coming back? Or keeping
his wife happy?

Actually, I thought it was kinda funny. I'm just immature that way, I
s'pose.

Isn't that the argument that's used to advance rape shield laws and
rape victim's advocacy? That the accusers need to be shielded, to
protect them from exactly this kind of negative social consequences?
Maybe you just gave a compelling argument for the anonymity of
the accused.
