  • Kobe's Alleged Victim Hires Libel Attorney

    The law firm representing the woman Kobe Bryant is accused of raping has hired a libel attorney who also defended the parents of JonBenet Ramsey.

    In a statement issued Thursday, the alleged victim's attorney, John Clune, said Lin Wood was hired because of "growing concerns" regarding media coverage of the 20-year-old woman and because of potential civil litigation related to those and other unspecified concerns.

    The statement said neither Clune nor Wood would have any further comment. A telephone message left for Wood was not immediately returned.

    The media is seeking access to closed-door hearing details from the case that were accidentally e-mailed to some news outlets. The transcripts are from a hearing last month that dealt primarily with arguments about the accuser's sexual activity in the days surrounding her encounter with Bryant and money given her by a state victims' compensation program.

    Six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was found strangled and beaten in the basement of her parents' Colorado home in 1996. No charges have been filed in her death.
