Sexual Assault among Athletes

As one may know, there are many athletes that don't always do the right thing. Whether it be making controversial statements, getting involved in and or initiating fights, and of course the big one Sexual Assault. A case that sticks out in particular is Kobe Bryant's sexual assault allegation. This happened around 2004 when Kobe Bryant's career was on the rise. At this time Kobe had two NBA titles on his resume and he was continuing to wow crowds. Though when in Colorado awaiting a minor knee surgery Kobe slipped up. He was shown around the hotel by a young 19 year old employee, who he then would have sexual relations with this young women. The girl 19 at the time Bryant was 24, though one might think this is perfectly fine the girl claimed Mr. Bryant forced himself upon her. Upon police interview, Mr. Bryant denied any forceful altercations with the female and swore many times that the interaction was consensual. Bryant was never convicted of this sexual assault, though not being convicted he lost tons of money. His prized endorsements were stripped from his grasps and his family nearly torn apart at the time. We don't know if he did it or not though time tells all.
