WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON WHAT HAPPENED WITH KOBE BRYANT AND THE 19YR OLD HOTEL EMPLOYEE??
Basketball stars live a glamorous life, full of fanfare and sponsorships. But every few years, serious allegations seem to pop up against these athletic superstars.
On this day, July 18th, in 2003, Kobe Bryant, basketball star of the Los Angeles Lakers, was charged with assault by a 19-year-old hotel employee. The charges were later dropped when Bryant’s accuser refused to testify at trial.
Bryant later admitted publicly that his accuser might have been right. Although the criminal charges were dropped, civil charges were subsequently brought and a settlement was reached without disclosure to the public. These accusations greatly damaged Bryant’s reputation in the public’s eye. He lost endorsement contracts with both McDonald’s and Nutella. Bryant’s replica jersey also lost significant sales because of the charges.

The charge wasn't cheating on his wife, the charge was rape. what does his wife or status have to do with such a serious charge. so, is it okay for a single man to sexually assault a woman?

I never heard anything about him saying she might've been right about none of this mess. I don't know where your getting your info, because the last time I saw Kobe talking about the situation, he was saying that it was plain old adultery, and it was very much consensual.
