JAKARTA - Seventeen years before NBA legend Kobe Bryant died in a plane crash, a Colorado woman accused him of rape. Now, new facts regarding the case have surfaced.

In fact, the charges against the basketball star were dropped after the woman refused to testify in court. Now, however, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has uncovered documents explaining the murder scheme of Bryant's accusers.

A man offers his services to Bryant to get rid of the basketball icon's accuser for money.

According to The Hill, the name of the would-be killer was removed from the FBI report, but the offer was made by Patrick Graber, a bodybuilder.

It said he sent Bryant a $3 million offer via FedEx in 2003. He hinted that the NBA icon's troubles would "go away with the money".

"Security for Bryant brought the letter to the attention of Bryant's attorneys, who with security, in turn, contacted the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department", the document reads.

Bryant's accusers were also warned of a possible threat, according to the report.

FBI documents state that the hapless would-be killer was later arrested after several meetings were held with him. Federal authorities "paid" him with counterfeit money used in Hollywood productions.

Bryant was accused by a Colorado woman of rape in 2003, but the charges were dropped after the woman refused to testify in court.

In January 2020, Bryant, along with his daughter Gianna and seven other people, died in a helicopter crash in California.
