Been over 20 years and no conviction I wouldn’t expect there to be any.
You are either completely uneducated about the topic when it is super easy to look this up, or you are choosing to ignore anything that doesn't fit your preferred way of looking at what happened.
The girl had bruises on her neck and clear signs of rape during her vaginal exam.
Please remind yourself of the facts before coming here with all this victim blaming. It's really pretty disturbing.

What made it more disgusting for Kobe is that his wife had just given birth and the alleged victim was a desk clerk in the motel he was staying at. Kobe should also been awarded husband/father of the year.

Sure, no convictions. Kobe's own words after the rape that he believed served as a justification and rationalization of the incident, which was a rape, is what I consider when calling him a rapist. His own words, not hers. His words. He "believed" that she wanted him to have sex with her, despite her making very clear that she did not and he having to physically force her into a position that allowed him to have sex with her.

Either you believe in what the country was founded on or you don’t. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’m just not willing to just believe someone’s word unless I know. I know Johnny Depp would have appreciated that. These are principles America was founded. Life isn’t perfect. God is if guilty he pays in the end. I’m not saying he’s innocent in the sight of God, but as far as the people goes, he’s innocent until otherwise

Just stop. You don't have to believe anything, and that's ok, but the need of defending the overall scumbag so ferociously is beyond pathetic. Yes,in paper he is not convicted. But still, whatever. He went out as rich, entitled wife cheating bastard nevertheless
So, only people who were convicted have done bad things. Got it.
"Over the next year and a half, his lawyers attacked the accuser’s credibility by pointing out she’d had sex with another man in the week before the alleged assault, that she’d attempted suicide in the past, and that she had been initially excited to meet Kobe. Her identity was also leaked."
This along with a 2.5M lawsuit settlement is more than enough for someone to not want to testify. To use that as evidence that he didn’t do it is extremely ignorant. There isn’t enough words to describe how ignorant that is.

If you want to take a hard stance on not judging anyone since we don't have all of the information that's fine, just feels like you are happy to judge the woman as a liar without all the information. Honestly, if you just take back the quote above I don't have as big of a problem with what you are saying.
You're a rape apologist, to be precise.
