It's hard to make a call on whether Kobe's innocent/guilty...
however claiming that the girls having second thoughts about the sex is the reason to the claims of rape is deeply disturbing. Obviously no one wants to be accused of such a horrible crime, especially if they're innocent, but when the stats are more or less like 15% of the actual # of rape cases REPORTED, I'd have no problem encouraging girls to speak up for themselves when something seems amiss.
While it should be made clear that if you give consent, you give consent, but this is also the type of event that ruins a person's life. And I for one think it's better to be safe than sorry, celebrities included.
