Forgot about that, that is certainly a big question mark on his character. No doubt he was able to skate through this while paying off the young lady with an undisclosed sum of money with minimal damage to his reputation. You won’t hear this story now.

There wasn't much of case, whatever actually happened it was clear she was trying to shake Kobe down, and eventually get her big payoff.
