DENVER (AP) -- A month after a woman accused NBA star Kobe Bryant of rape,
she told friends she was considering suing him in civil court and was making
plans to spend the money on breast augmentation surgery and other luxuries,
according to court documents released Friday.
The details are in testimony from Sean Holloway, who knew the
then-19-year-old woman from the year she attended school at the University
of Northern Colorado in Greeley.
During a closed hearing March 2, defense attorney Hal Haddon asked Holloway
about a conversation he had with the accuser near the end of July 2003,
about a month after the alleged assault. The hearing was to determine
whether information about the woman's sexual activities could be used in
court against her.
Haddon asked whether the woman had mentioned the possibility of a civil
lawsuit.
"She said that after the case was over it something that she was most likely
going to do," Holloway said.
He testified that the woman, an aspiring singer, wanted to use any award
money to open a recording studio and to pay for breast augmentation surgery
for herself and a friend. He also said she would buy a live koala bear for
another friend who liked the animals.
Under questioning by prosecutor Dana Easter, Holloway acknowledged he had
trouble remembering details of the conversation. He refused to answer
whether drug use might have affected his memory.
