As far as Kobe being innocent or guilty it is true only two people really know the truth.
Yes he is a beloved superstar by many and this affects people's opinion. But it is not only his fans saying they think he is innocent it is also old friends, x-girlfriends, family, NBA officials and players as well.
Is it a set-up? In my opinion it is more than likely so a set up. I really do not think this case will go to trial. Already information is surfacing that will damage the credibility of this girl.
I do think it was consensual sex.
As far as men cheating - Well be honest and ask yourself: "Would I cheat if given the opportunity?" Especially if you were in a position such as a superstar like Kobe Bryant? You have all this fame and money and women are constantly throwing themselves at you. I wonder how many men or women would truly resist the temptation.
He could be guilty but I do think it is more likely it was a "Wham Bam thank you Mam" thing. We shall see.
I really do believe he loves his wife. I think he let the dog in him take over as do more women than we women like to admit do. But I do not believe he deserves to be accused or convicted of rape for committing adultery.
The accuser's picture and information is on the Internet already. You have to search for it.
