Kobe Bryant and Kate Farber, Kobe Bryant's Accuser Rape Case

Professional basketball player Kobe Bryant remained impassive during a detective's graphic testimony Thursday in a preliminary hearing on a rape charge.

The detective said he was told by Bryant's 19-year-old accuser that after some mutual flirting and some kissing in his room, the encounter turned violent when he held her face down and ignored her cries, CNN reported.

Bryant acknowledges having sex with the hotel clerk at a mountain lodge near the Vail ski resort, but denies that he assaulted her against her will.
