The lawyer for Kobe Bryant's accuser (Kate Faber) yesterday refused to deny reports his client is pregnant by a man she met while at a drug and alcohol treatment center in Florida, but insisted it's not why she declined to go forward with the case.
Lin Wood called news reports that the 20-year-old woman is at least eight weeks pregnant "an invasion of privacy."
Fox News reported that the woman — who claimed the Lakers star raped her in a hotel room in June 2003 only to tell prosecutors this month she could not go forward with testifying — met the father at a rehab center in Boca Raton.
News of the pregnancy first surfaced in Globe magazine, which reported that the woman learned of her situation a day before dropping out of the criminal case against the NBA great.
Wood said he would not "discuss in the media, or publicly, aspects of my client's private life. I also believe it is irresponsible journalism for the media to discuss private aspects of her life."
He called the Fox report "an invasion of privacy," adding, "The report that a pregnancy had anything to do with her withdrawal from the Bryant prosecution is pure fiction.
"She withdrew because of the history of the court system in the criminal case, harming her, making mistakes that threatened her," he said.
