We had not and she asked about availability and at that point she divulged the information to me that it was actually Mr. Bryant And that it was very important that we got him and his two companions a room.

Det. W: Ok, all right. Um, did she say, did she say what time he was gonna arrive?

(redacted): She did not, no.

Det. W: Ok. All right then what happened?

(redacted): Around, I’d say about 9:30 um, Mike Ortiz called, he was somebody staying with Mr.Bryant, to make sure that his room was ready and that his keys are ready so he could just go into the lobby and grab his key and go up to his room without having to deal with any paperwork.

Det. W: Ok.

(redacted) : They showed up around 9:45,10:00. I met Mr. Ortiz um, met Mr. Bryant and they asked me to escort him to his room.

Det. W: And who is Ortiz in relation to Mr. Bryant?

(redacted) : I’m thinking it was his bodyguard, but I’m not sure.

Det. W: Ok. And then what happened?

(redacted) : I showed Mr. Bryant and Mr. Ortiz and two, one other gentleman to Mr. Bryant’s room um…

Det. W: Who is the other gentleman?

(redacted) : Joe Carlson.

Det. W: And who is he in relation to all these other parties?

(redacted): I am not sure.

Det. W: Did he show up with these people?

(redacted): Yes he did. I’m not even sure if these are their real names they gave.

Det. W: And how do you know these names then?

(redacted): They gave it to me over the phone, the travel agent did. Cause, they had three different rooms.

Det. W: So you had a Joe Carison, Mike Ortiz and a Kobe Bryant. Ok.

(redacted): They actually called him Javier Rodriguez.

Det. W: But they called Mr. Bryant Javier Rodriguez. Ok. And then uh. ok then what happened after they arrived and escorted them to ….?

(redacted): To Mr. Bryant’s room. Urn, two other gentlemen were looking around the room and Mr. Bryant asked me, kinda in private if I would come back in 15 minutes and give him a tour of the hotel. And I said that I would. And at that point I went back, back down to the front desk got the keys for the two other rooms that they had reserved and showed the other two gentlemen to their rooms.

Det. W: Ok. What room was Mr. Bryant escorted to?

(redacted): To 35.

Det. W: Where is that located in the lodge because I’m not very familiar with the rooms?

(redacted): It’s actually the very last room on the first floor. About the farthest room you could get from the front desk or the lobby area.

Det. W: On the right or left?

(redacted): On the left hand side.

Det. W: Ok. So after you escorted them to Mr. Bryant’s room un, you went back downstairs, or you went back out to the front, to the front lobby or front desk counter and got the keys to the other two rooms and escorted the other two gentlemen to their rooms?

(redacted) : Yes.

Det. W: And then Mr. Bryant asked you to come back in about 15 minutes.

(redacted): Mmhmm.

DetW: Ok. Urn, what were you thinking at that point? Why, oh cause he wanted you to show him around, is that what you said?

(redacted): Yeah.

Det. W: Then what happened?

(redacted) : I showed the other two gentlemen to their rooms, came back to the front desk, and waited about 5,10 minutes and then actually went the back way to Mr. Bryant’s room.

Det. W: Why did you do that?

(redacted) : Because I, had a feeling that his bodyguards didn’t know that I was going back to Mr. Bryant’s room.

Det W: Why did you have this feeling?

(redacted) : Because they wouldn’t let anybody really get close to Mr. Bryant and Mr., he had asked me in person, like in uh, private when no one else was listening. To have him escorted around the hotel, so I wasn’t quite sure if they knew, so I went went the back way to his room.

Det. W: Um, and how do you know that they weren’t, that the other two weren’t lettingpeople near Mr. Bryant?

(redacted): That’s what the bellman had told me cause we were the only two in contact with Mr. Bryant, last night and they wouldn’t let him near at all.

Det.W: Who?

(redacted): Bob Pietrack.

Det. W: Around 10:30?

(redacted): Mm hmm.

Det. W: Um, and how, what’s the back way around?

(redacted) : You actually go out the front door of the lobby and take a left and go to, we have a little employee cafeteria, you go in through that door, take another left and that leads you to the second floor and you just take an elevator down to the first floor. And that avoids going through the lobby and going up the stairs.

Det. W: What rooms were the bodyguards in?

(redacted): 18 and 20.

Det W: Ok. Were they standing outside in the hallway or…?

(redacted) : They were ln tne lobby at that time.

Det. W: Ok. Is there only one-way into the room?

(redacted) : Yes.

Det. W: Ok. And that’s the door you escorted him to?

Nothing was really happening just chitchat. He asked me if I would go in the Jacuzzi with him later. At which point I told him that my shift was over and I was gonna go home, because I was starting to get a little worried about the situation.

Det W: Well if you were supposed to get off at 7 why were you there at 9:30 or 10:00 when he arrived?

He proceeded to try and convince me to come back in fifteen minutes, which I told him I would just so I could get out of there and then I was just gonna leave and not come back. Um, I stood up to leave, he stood up, asked me to give him a hug. I gave him a hug and he started kissing me and I let him kiss me. And the kissing continued then he took off his pants.

(redacted) : If he did he didn’t make any gestures or anything that would let me know that he did.

Det W: Ok. Did you ever tell him anything else?

Det W: Were you saying anything to him?

(redacted) : No.

Det W: Did he know you were trying to leave?

(redacted) : Because I kept trying to back away and move towards the door.

Det W: Ok. And where is this all occurring at?

(redacted) : Um, in the room that he was staying in there’s urn, a living room, and separate from the living room, there’s a bedroom, and this was in the living room.

Det W: Ok. When you enter the, building or when you enter the residence where do you come into first?

Det W: Ok. Small place, big place?

(redacted) : Uh, big for a hotel room.

(redacted) : He is.

Det W: He is, so he’s in between you and the door?

(redacted): He has his back to the door and I’m standing in front of him.

Det W: Ok. Then what happened?

(redacted) : I try and walk to the side, and he would walk to the side with me.

Det W: Ok.

(redacted) : And that’s when he started to put his hands on my neck.

Det W: Ok. Um, was that during the groping, or?

(redacted) : That was after.

Det W: Ok so after the groping. So he, he was choking you at one time and then he let go at some point?

(redacted) : He was groping me, I tried to leave, tried to break away, that’s when he grabbed my neck.

Det W: Ok.

(redacted) : And at that point I was just looking at him, didn’t know what to do, didn’t know what to say.

DetW: Ok.

(redacted) : Then he held me by my neck and physically forced me over to the side of the couch or to the side of the two chairs and thafs when he turned my back to him and …

Det W: When you said that he, he was choking you and had his hands around your neck,just so I understand, I may be confused. When you’re trying to go from one side to the next, is he continuing on choking you at this point also?

(redacted) : I wouldn’t say he was choking me, I could breathe, but he had his hands tight enough around my neck, so that I thought he would choke me.

Det W: Ok. So he was controlling your movements?

(redacted) : Yes.

Det W: Ok. So and then what happened?

(redacted) : That’s when he continually had one hand around my neck and with his other hand pushed me over to the side of the two chairs urn, turned me around and bent me over and lifted up my skirt.

Del W: Ok. Um, so now you’re at, you’re over where the chairs are.

(redacted) : Still in the living room just over by the side of the chairs. Away from the table.

Del W: Are you telling him anything at this point, now?

(redacted): At that point I was just kinda scared and I said no a few times.

Del W; Ok, What, you said no, were you bent over when you were saying no?

(redacted) : Yeah when he lifted up my skirt I said no when he took off my underwear.

Det W: How loud did you say no?

(redacted): About as loud as I’m saying it now.

Det W: Did he hear you?

(redacted) : Yes. He did.

Det W: How do you know he heard you?

(redacted) : Because every time I said no he tightened his hold, around me.

Det W: Ok. But he has you bent over, how is he holding your neck?

(redacted) : Like this. And then he would lean his face real close to me and ask me questions.

Det W: What would he ask you?

(redacted) : You’re not gonna tell anybody right

Det W: What did you say?

(redacted) : I said no. And he didn’t hear me or asked me to say it louder. Wanted me to turn around and look at him while I said it.

Det W: How many times did he ask you that?

(redacted) : Three or four.

Det W: What was your response every time?

(redacted) : NO.

Dct W: Why did you say no?

(redacted) : I was scared that if I told him that yes, I’m gonna tell somebody, I’m gonna get out of here now that he would become more physical with me.

Det W: Ok.

(redacted) : Or try harder to keep me in there.

Det W: And then what happened?

(redacted) : And then he lifted up my skirt, took off my underwear and, and came inside of me.

Det W: So he took off your underwear?

(redacted) : (Inaudible answer). (Nods head yes).

Det W: Ok. And then, then what happened?

(redacted) : That’s when he kept coming inside me and then he leaned his face toward mine and asked me if I liked it when a guy [sex act] , I said no. Then he was like what did you say. Grabbed and like tightened his hold on my neck, I said no. He said he was gonna do it anyway. And then at that point I got a little bit more aggressive with him and tried to release his hands from my neck. And he was still behind me and at that point he’s still choking me, I was not trying as hard as I could of to get away, but I was still trying….

Dct W: Ok. Ok. When, when you say he’s coming in from behind, what do you mean?

(redacted) : He’s, he’s [sex act] inside me.

Det W: Ok and so I’m assuming his penis is in your vagina.

(redacted) : Yes.

Det W: Ok. How long did this go on for?

(redacted) : About five minutes. Five, ten minutes.

Det W: Ok. Um, was he hurting you?

Det W: Vaginally?

(redacted) : Yes.

Del W: Ok. Um, had you led him on at anytime during this event, where he would have believed that maybe he was led on?

(redacted) : Yes.

Det W: At what point.

(redacted) : When I was walking to his room and showing him, showing him around he was being flirtatious with me and I was flirtatious back.

Det W: Ok and why were you doing that?

(redacted) : Part of me was excited that he was Kobe Bryant and he was showing interest in me and part of me was trying to I don’t wanna say being a good employee but be nice I guess.

Det W: Um, getting back to the incident um, could you tell if his penis was hard or soft?

(redacted): It was hard.

Det W: It was hard. Ok. Do you know if he ejaculated?

(redacted) : I do not know.

Det W: Ok. What, what made this, and then what happened after he’s um, having sex with you from behind?

(redacted) : When I started to get a little bit more aggressive, tried harder to get away that’s when he stopped.

Det W: Ok. Then what happened?

(redacted) : l stood up and I turned around and he forced me to stay in the room until I had calmed down a little bit Made me fix my hair and wash my face.

Det W: Were you crying then?

(redacted) : Yes.

Det W: When did you begin crying?

(redacted) : When he was coming inside, or started having sex with me.

Det W: Um, would he have known that this was not a consensual encounter?

Det W: You understand what consensual means?

(redacted) : Yes.

Det W: Ok, what does it mean?

(redacted) : It means I’m allowing him to do what he’s doing, that I want him to do what he’s doing.

Det W: Ok, so. So it’s fair to say that you allowed him to do everything up to the point of the groping issue?

Det W: And at that point was it clear that he knew that you didn’t want to go any further?

(redacted) : Yes.

Det W: Um, and then you say you got forceful with him, how, how describe how forceful, you said you were prying his hands apart and that made him stop all of a sudden. What, did he say anything to you at that point?

(redacted) : He didn’t say anything until he had stopped, and I, I turned around and was looking at him and that’s when he started this is just between the two, the two of us nobody is gonna know about this, you’re not going to tell anybody. Not asking me just like telling me. Nobody’s gonna know, your not going to tell anybody.

Det W: What did you say?

(redacted) : I said no I wouldn’t tell anybody.

Det W: And why did you tell him that?

(redacted) : I told him no because I was scared that if I told him that I was going to tell somebody that he would do other things to scare me into not telling anybody, become more physical with me choke me harder or hit me or something like that.

Det W: Did you think anything like this was going to happen earlier in the evening?

(redacted): I had some idea that, cause he was showing interest in me and being flirtatious, asking me how old I was, asking if I had a boyfriend, so a little part of me thought that he was gonna try and make a move on me.

Det W; And what, what did you think at that point?

(redacted) : 1 thought making a move on me would be kissing me, and that was it. And I thought that was fine.
