Kobe Bryant

I believe Kobe Bryant’s case involves pure and simple greed, where a woman targets a celebrity or prominent professional and uses the threat of a rape to extort money from them. I came to see that there are several reasons why a woman would lie about being raped. The most common, is the get back at a man for something. Other times, women are trying to cover up for something they’ve done wrong. Or they might be trying to extort money or are simply mentally imbalanced. I believe that this girl is psychologically unstable.

These falsehoods trivialize the experience of real rape survivors. Innocent men are arrested and even imprisoned as a result of bogus claims, and the precious resources of criminal justice agencies are wasted. The overwhelming number of reported cases is legitimate, but just one false accusation makes skeptics think the next women’s claim may also be untrue, and for that, every rape victim after that.

Kobe Bryant, being as famous and good-looking as he is, is a substantial target. The girl is suffering by being called a whore and a bitch. She even had to leave school because students were giving her such hell. Does she really have to go through all that?? Ok you Laker fans, I know you love Kobe but let's be sensible here. And yes, if she did accuse Kobe Bryant of rape just to gain attention, she should definitely have to face consequences, but we don't know exactly what's going through her mind. She could merely be an insecure girl crying her heart out every night because no one understands her. Do normal people see that? No. She doesn't need people calling her a whore and a bitch. What the girl realy needs is a self-esteem and of course, therapy.

There always in the court system has to be a substantial amount, actually more than enough evidence to support the fact that a woman had been a victim of rape. So people, unless you know what this evidence is, and trust me you don't, don't go "poor Kobe" or "what a bitch" just yet. He is, in fact, on trial for rape. For a case like this to reach court, there had to be some type of solid evidence to back the girl up. But let's let the court do the judging eh?
