The New York Times > National > Judge Limiting Sex-Life Shield at Bryant Trial

The New York Times > National > Judge Limiting Sex-Life Shield at Bryant Trial.

Is this  trip necessary?

Sports fans, men and women, voyeurs, wannabes and others are engrossed by the titillation provided by this sordid mess. It seems pretty simple: A high-profile basketball star, many of whom are reported to indulge in sex at will, perhaps as one of the expected perks of superstar status, meets a sexually active, probably attractive, female wanting to "be with" a superstar. They have sex, whether violent or not, consensual or not, TBD.  She sees opportunity to make big bucks from an alleged injury. If it's true she had sex numerous times before and after Bryant, that's relevant in a case such as this.

The whole situation should never have reached this level of frenzy. These situations are the fodder that feed our cultural enemies and display that America is often less than the Christian nation we say we are.
