LOS ANGELES -- Prosecutors rejected a sexual assault claim against Los Angeles Lakers center Kwame Brown on Tuesday because of a lack of evidence.
The allegation was made during the Lakers' first-round Western Conference playoff series with Phoenix and had been under investigation since. Brown had denied any wrongdoing and was never arrested.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office said it decided not to prosecute Brown after "a medical exam of the victim was reviewed and revealed no signs of forcible sexual assault." There was also no corroborating forensic evidence, it said.
In May, police said that they were investigating a report of a sexual assault from early Saturday, hours after Los Angeles beat the Suns in Game 3. Police did not say when the report was filed or by whom. No charges were filed.
"I'm just staying grounded and staying with my family," Brown said at the time. "I'm confident it will get resolved. You've just got to roll with the punches -- life goes on. I just come out and play. You've got to go to work every day, don't you?"
In May, police spokeswoman April Harding said Brown had not been approached by investigators and declined to release any details of the allegation.
"This investigation is definitely in its preliminary stages," she said.
Brown's attorney, Brian O'Neill, declined comment at the time.
"I can't and I won't" while the investigation continued, he said.

Juronimo:
Yeah, Kwame looked completely shook after that. That's fucked up. Females that make false rape allegations should get jail time.

LOS ANGELES -- Prosecutors rejected a sexual assault claim against Los Angeles Lakers center Kwame Brown on Tuesday because of a lack of evidence.
The allegation was made during the Lakers' first-round Western Conference playoff series with Phoenix and had been under investigation since. Brown had denied any wrongdoing and was never arrested.
Deputy District Attorney Darci Johnson wrote in an evaluation of the case that the decision not to prosecute was made after "a medical exam of the victim was reviewed and revealed no signs of forcible sexual assault." There was also no corroborating forensic evidence found and Brown's attorney refused to allow him to talk to police.
The woman claimed the assault occurred in the early-morning hours of April 29, hours after Game 3 of the playoff series, which Phoenix went on to win.
In reasoning against filing charges, the evaluation described the claim as a "one on one" allegation.
The woman "admits engaging in some consensual activity" with Brown prior to the alleged assault and she remained in his home for several hours afterward, it said.
The woman's statements were consistent, the evaluation noted, but "the lack of physical evidence or a statement by the suspect means the case cannot be proven at the appropriate standard."
The Lakers referred inquiries on the decision to Brown's representatives. Telephone messages seeking comment were left at the office of agent Arn Tellem and for attorney Brian O'Neill.

Seriously, there has to be a law punishing women who wrongly accuse celebrities of rape. This shit is ridiculous.
