Um, okay, um, and I understand this is a serious allegation and obviously if this turns out to be a false allegation she?s obviously gonna be dealt with accordingly okay. Um, but, we do have an allegation right now okay and I feel um, and I understand that you claim that this was consensual okay, um, do you think there?s any possibility that at some point during this entire incident that she said no and it just happened to go on a little bit further and it just and then you quit.
Bryant: No. I stopped (inaudible), I stopped.
Detective Winters: When did she, when did you stop, what, what made you stop?

Detective Winters: Why?d you say you?d give them to her tomorrow?
Bryant: Because I was supposed to see her tomorrow anyway. I could give them to her tomorrow.

Detective Winters: Okay, um, why wouldn?t you give her an autograph that night compared to waiting for tomorrow? I don?t understand that.
Bryant: I don?t know. I just, I just, I do it like that, that?s what I do. Like sometimes I feel like signing ... right there on the spot, sometimes I don?t. I mean you know (inaudible) she hands me the envelope um, ... it?s not like you have a lot of basketball stars here you know.
Detective Loya: Where?s the envelope.
Bryant: Here?s the marker.
Detective Loya: Okay. She gave you this marker?
Detective Winters: Um, what, why do you think she would make an allegation like that?
Bryant: I have no idea, that?s exactly what I?m saying, that?s exactly what I?m saying, she must want money or something. It has to be that, because you guys (inaudible) because I?m telling you man, I swear on my life, I did not, I did not sexually assault her in no kind of way whatsoever man. I though she was (inaudible).
Detective Winters: Would you be willing ...?

Bryant: I have to go to court or something?
Detective Winters: No.
Detective Loya: No.
Bryant: So how do they do it?
Detective Loya: No. What we?ll do is we?ll make arrangements to set it up with you. Obviously you don?t live out here, so you?d have to fly back out here to take the examination and we?d ask you a series of questions only pertaining to this and if it shows you were being truthful to the questions asked ...

 

[Scott4USC]

Bryant: (Inaudible).
Detective Winters: And obviously it?s inadmissible in court, you can?t use it in court. But she?s willing to take one. Okay. She?s willing to take one and I?m just asking if you?d be willing to take one.
Bryant: Yes I am.
Detective Winters: Okay.
Detective Loya: (Inaudible).
Detective Winters: What do you think the results of the, of those tests are gonna be?
Bryant: I would have to say I don?t know. I?ve never taken one. I?m nervous right now my hands are shaking. (Inaudible).
Detective Loya: What do you think should happen to somebody that ...
Detective Winters: For one, I can, uh, no. I advise you not to talk to him, okay.
Detective Winters: I, you know, we appreciate your cooperation with us and allowing us in your room and you know, being, being cooperative with us to let us talk to you about this issue. Um, these are tough issues, I?m gonna tell you right now okay. These are very tough issues. They are serious allegations and she?s fully aware of the consequences behind these allegations that are being made, okay. Um, but, I guess we?re, you know this is what I?m having problems with Mr. Bryant um, for one, I don?t know if you?re telling me the truth or not, okay. I?m gonna be flat out honest with you and let me finish okay. I?m gonna tell you why all right. I?m the kind of person that I?m gonna tell you, I?m gonna tell it like it is, okay. I?m not gonna beat around the bush. One, you lied to us right off the bat. Okay.
Bryant: Well ... (inaudible).
Detective Winters: And I understand, and just let me finish okay. So one you lied to us, okay, that doesn?t help. Two, um, then, then we confront this issue and you seemed a little bit skeptical in the details of exactly what happened throughout the entire incident okay. I?m not saying you?re a person that would do something like this okay. I agree with you, I agree that you got caught up in the moment. Okay. No doubt about it, you know, no doubt about it whatsoever. What I think you got caught up in also Mr. Bryant, is that, and I agree, I, I completely agree you, it was consensual up to the point of the hugging and kissing issue I agree, completely consensual. I have no issues with that whatsoever. What I, what I?m being, what I?m skeptical on is that I don?t know how consensual the sexual intercourse was. Okay. I don?t, I don?t, I guess to be honest with you I?m not sure, I?m not sure, if we?re getting all the facts presented to us as far as exactly what happened. See this is the way I look at it, I you know, I look at it this way, she?s an attractive young lady okay.
Bryant: She wasn?t that attractive.
Detective Winters: You know, well, she?s okay, okay. Um, she?s young, you know, she?s excited to see you, no, no questions asked about that whatsoever. And you?re right, you both got caught up in the moment, um, then things started happening with her, she started thinking one way, uh, she started thinking no, I don?t want to do this, but then again you know, being the person you are, you are a respectable person. I have the utmost respect for you. But being caught up in the moment (stutter in tape) even though she told you no, you know, I?m not comfortable doing this, you know, I think you tried, you know, just wanted to finish okay.
Bryant: I didn?t finish a ... thing.
Detective Winters: And I know it stopped at a certain point okay, um ...
Detective Loya: By, by no means do we think that you?re ...
Bryant: Matter of fact.
Detective Winters: Go ahead.
Bryant: I (inaudible) ... when she left. (Inaudible).
Detective Loya: Mr. Bryant by no means do we think you?re a sexual predator or ...
Bryant: I did not do this. I (Inaudible) at all.
Detective Loya: Anything like that. But, but we do have evidence already where there?s some vaginal tearing where it?s consistent more that it was ...
Bryant: (Inaudible). You?ve got to be kidding.
Detective Loya: Well let me finish, but it?s consistent with more than just what I believe, more than five minutes of sexual intercourse. Okay.
Bryant: Well, that?s all there was.
Detective Loya: Even though, even though you said it was pretty, you?re pretty big you said it was easy to penetrate her.
Bryant: Yes, went like that and there was no resistance. None. She bent over and ...
Detective Winters: And she?s gonna, and I agree, she?s gonna, there was no resistance ...
Bryant: She didn?t (inaudible) ... anything.
Detective Winters: For the fear she was in.
Bryant: Fear, fear, how much fear could she could she be in if she said no?
Detective Winters: Comments, comments made such as you know, that you know um, that, did you ask her that, not to tell anybody about this?
Bryant: Not to tell anybody about what?
Detective Winters: That this happened?
Bryant: No.
Detective Loya: Did you ever tell, did you ever ...?
Bryant: I asked her, said look if we go swimming, if we go swimming I don?t, I don?t need you to tell no people that we?re going swimming even though I?m gonna ask Mike Ortiz and those guys or whatever in there. (Inaudible.)

Detective Loya: You never told her not to tell anybody about having sex with her?
Bryant: No cause that?s kinda ... that?s. I told her about the pool thing, I figured you know if she understands what I?m saying and then she?s like well you know I?m not going to say anything.
Detective loya: I have a question though. What did you thing was gonna happen after she left your, and after you had sex with her? What did you think she was gonna tell?
Bryant: What do you mean?
Detective Loya: Well she?s nineteen years old.
Detective Winters: You don?t know her.
Bryant: maybe, maybe that you know ... (inaudible). (Detective Loya talking over).
Detective Loya: She had, she just had sexual intercourse with an NBA player. What did you think she was gonna do? What did you think...?
Bryant: I never had sex with her before. I don?t know man, I don?t know. I have no guarantees.
Detective Loya: Is this, I don?t mean to offend you in any way but is this a habit of yours, that you cheat on your wife?
Detective Winters: Has this ever happened before?
Bryant: Um, yes, with one other person. And she could actually testify I do that um, I do the same thing, I hold her from the back, I put my hands (inaudible).
Detective Loya: And who?s that other person?
Bryant: (inaudible) Her name is Michelle. (Inaudible).
Detective Loya: And this is somebody you frequent or one time incident or ...?
Bryant: No. She?s a, she?s a frequent (inaudible).
Detective Loya: And your wife...
Bryant: (Inaudible).
Detective Loya: Obviously your wife doesn?t know about this?
Bryant: No. Nothing man, seriously. (Inaudible).
Detective Loya: Well I don?t, well I don?t know about Detective Winters but I can probably speak for him we don?t plan on telling her. But ...
Detective Winters: We?re not going to tell your wife.
Detective Loya: But, you know, just like he was saying, I think, I think, you know how long have you been away from home?
Bryant: Um, (Inaudible)?
Detective Loya: Yeah.

Bryant: Mm hmm.
Detective Winters: Monday night?
Bryant: Mm hmm.
Detective Loya: Is there anything else you think we should know that might help the investigation, that could probably help you out a little but ... or think it?s important that we need to know?
Bryant: Nothing I can think of. (Inaudible).
Detective Loya: So just to reiterate and correct me if I?m wrong, you met her when you got here, you asked her to show you around the property?
Bryant: Uh, no, not immediately.
Detective Loya: Not immediately, but later in the evening.

Detective Loya: But they also have to go through the same process you?re going through too.
Bryant: Yeah but you?re asking me stuff like a statement or (inaudible).
Detective Winters: Well, and I?m gonna be straight up honest with you Kobe, I don?t know if the information is gonna get out okay, if the press calls me at this point in the investigation, um, I?m gonna explain to that that this is an ongoing investigation, that we?re looking into the matter and that?s all I can explain.
Detective Loya: And you?re saying she gave you this marker Kobe?
Bryant: Yes.
Detective Loya: With these cards?
Bryant: That was after. After we had sex is when she gave it to me. After.
Detective Winters: Where did she give it to you from?
Bryant: Standing after the kissing we started walking around she said how bout that autograph because I joked with her upstairs, I said um, all of us were walking, me, my trainer, my two security guards, we?re walking and I said I might be able to have one of em because people don?t bother me if you have no boyfriend so then she?s like well, you know, can I get your autograph.
Detective Winters: Where did she pull that out from?
Bryant: Um, I guess she had it in her, her jacket pocket (inaudible) a coat pocket.
Detective Loya: Did her jacket ever come off during intercourse?

Detective Winters: Well like I say, I can?t promise you that it?s not gonna get out. I don?t know Mr. Bryant, I just don?t know. I wish I could honestly, honestly answer you that this, this isn?t gonna get out, but I don?t know. Uh, you know as well as I do the situation might be yeah, a lot of times they do come in but for all I know maybe other people, other celebrities have been investigated. We all don?t know but that?s possible.
Detective Loya: And she?s been made aware, very well aware by Detective Winters of the seriousness of the allegations and repercussions if she is making a false statement and all that. She was brought in.
Bryant: She had all this time to sit there and thing that this happened coincidentally or whatever and um (unclear) the strangling thing you have to go talk to this girl (inaudible) Michelle.
Detective Loya: She has a bruise on her neck.
Bryant: Yeah I mean that?s you know me and Michelle, that?s what we, we do the same thing.
Detective Winters: That?s your thing. How many times did you have sex with Michelle?

Detective Loya: Is he your private security guard or is it through a company?
Bryant: Through a company called O&R.
Detective Winters: Okay, um, is that, is that do you normally, when you see Michelle in a bar do you hook up with her?
Bryant: Well no, I mean she?s not (inaudible) she?s cool but that?s pretty much what we do.
Detective Winters: And obviously I think your wife doesn?t need to know.
Bryant: Oh, no.
Detective Winters: Well you?re an adult, you?re a man, you know the noble thing you need to do. I can?t tell you whether you need to call your wife or not but that?s a decision you?re gonna have to make. Um, Murphy?s Law states that whatever can go wrong will ... so whether you tell your wife that?s up to you but I have no intentions of telling your wife. Now there may come a time where I, being the detective on the case, where I may need to talk to, say hey Mr. Bryant you know, hey I need to ask you about this there?s something that came up. I can?t say that I won?t, I mean who?s to say that your wife won?t answer the phone.
Detective Loya: Unless you have a number that we can call you at where?s she?s not gonna answer the phone, but we don?t want you to avoid us.
Bryant: No sir.
Detective Loya: You gonna avoid us though or you gonna?
Bryant: No, no, no, no, no.
Detective Winters: No I?ll do what I can, you know, Mr. Bryant I can?t promise you anything I just want you to know...
Detective Loya: Cause if you avoid us Kobe, that?s really gonna hit the public.

 

[Scott4USC]

Bryant: Why the ... would I avoid you for? Call me. I don?t care. Call me.
Detective Winters: Well Kobe, I don?t think you?re gonna avoid us, you?ve been real cooperative with us you know, you?ve been real cool about everything, but uh, I guess at this time do you have any questions for us?
Bryant: Yeah, what is going to happen next?
Detective Winters: Okay. And I?m gonna explain everything about what happens here shortly.
Detective Loya: Cause we?re gonna need some things from you too.
Bryant: (Inaudible) Tell me what happens.

Detective Loya: That?s not possible man, nobody else rides in our cars. It?s just our insurance policy. I?ll lose my job if anything else goes that way.
Bryant: So can uh, Troy (Laster, one if his security guards) you wait here.
Detective Loya: Which way?s which. I don?t know how we get out of here?
