DENVER -- The syndicated television program "Celebrity Justice" is reporting that Kobe Bryant may have had a relationship with another hotel worker.
According to the report, unnamed sources say the hotel employee in Portland, Ore., claims she had several sexual encounters with Bryant at the hotel where she works. The sources say the relationship was intimate and consensual but did not get as far as sexual intercourse.
The report also states that the worker describes Bryant as "a perfect gentleman" and that the Eagle County prosecutors have contacted the woman about her relationship with the Lakers' star.
The woman, who works room service, was very upset about being brought into the Bryant case and hopes he is acquitted of sexual assault charges in Colorado, sources told the show.
KMGH-TV in Denver contacted the Eagle County District Attorney's Office and they had no comment on the report.
Bryant is expected to appear in the Eagle County District Court on Feb. 2. The motions hearing is expected to last two days.
