not carry on without her testi
mony.
But the Los Angeles Lakers star
still faces her federal civil lawsuit
seeking unspecified damages. That
case is still on, said L. Lin Wood,
the woman’s attorney.
“There has been no settlement
of the civil lawsuit, and there have
been no discussions concerning
a settlement,” he said.
The 26-year-old Los Angeles
Lakers guard issued a written
apology that stopped short of
taking responsibility for his ac
tions.
“Although I truly believe this
encounter between us was con
sensual, I recognize now that she
did not and dqtes not view this
incident the same way I did,” he
said.
Bryant tearfully admitted more
than a year ago he had consen
sual sex with the then-19-year-
old employee of a Vail-area resort
where he stayed last summer. If
convicted, the married father of a
little girl could have faced four
years to life in prison, or 20 years
to life on probation, and a fine up
to $750,000.
Instead, prosecutors dropped
the case after spending at least
$200,0(M) preparing for trial. Dis
trict Attorney Mark Hurlbert said
he could have won the case, but
he supported the w om an's deci
sion to withdraw, with a stipula
tion that charges will never be
refiled.
“Today justice is sadly inter
rupted. The casualty in this inter
ruption has been a brave young
woman who was grievously hurt,”
Hurlbert said.
