If he actually admitted to raping her, he would have gone to prison. An apology does not absolve anyone from rape charges.

Yeah, which was exactly why she fucked him in the first place... money. $2.5M is life-changing money to 99.9999999% of people, so Kobe settled to get it over with and move on with his life and career
She only regret the sex because she thought she hit the jackpot, but Kobe just saw her as another groupie ho.

How do you know Kobe and Vanessa's agreement? It's not "cheating" if there's an agreement. Many wives of wealthy husbands are fine with "cheating" as long as it stays out of the media.
