Call it racketeering. Call it extortion. But as the Kate Faber story unravels it becomes clear that her reasons for going after Kobe Bryant might have been to finance a breast augmentation.

WWW- A month after a woman [Kate Faber] accused Kobe Bryant of rape, she told a friend she was considering suing the NBA star in civil court and wanted to buy breast augmentation surgery and a koala bear with any award money, according to court documents released Friday.

The details came in testimony from Sean Holloway, who knew the then-19-year-old woman from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.

During a closed hearing March 2, defense attorney Hal Haddon asked Holloway about a conversation with the woman near the end of July 2003, about a month after the alleged assault. The hearing was to determine whether information about the woman’s sexual activities could be used in court against her.

“She said that after the case was over it was something that she was most likely going to do,” Holloway said.

He testified the woman, an aspiring singer, wanted to use any award money to open a recording studio and to pay for breast augmentation surgery for herself and a friend. He also said she would buy a koala bear for another friend who liked the animals.

It is unclear whether District Judge Terry Ruckriegle had ruled on the prosecution’s request to limit Holloway’s testimony. Prosecutors dropped the criminal case against Bryant on Sept. 1 after the woman said she no longer wanted to participate.

The woman, now 20, has filed a civil suit against Bryant in federal court for what she says have been months of pain and suffering since the alleged assault at a Vail-area resort where she once worked.
