"[Pitino] said it began when she started rubbing his leg as they were sitting at the bar, then suggested that they go to a booth. 'One thing led to another,' Pitino said.

"Sypher insists Pitino forced her to have an abortion, even though she felt it was murder. 'This is all I have of the baby," she said yesterday, holding up the ultrasound picture taken the day of the procedure. "I'll never forget. I wanted to have the baby, but Rick said my children would all be in concrete. I lived in fear for five years,' she said. 'I prayed to God, 'Please, I don't want this.' When they called my name [at the clinic], I stood up.' But paperwork Sypher filled out at the clinic, which she provided to The Post, contradicts her account. She checked off boxes indicating she felt 'confident' and 'strong' that she was doing the right thing." [New York Post]

"'Everything that's been printed, everything that's been reported, everything that's been breaking in the news on the day Ted Kennedy died is 100 percent a lie, a lie,' Pitino said." [ESPN]
"[Dana] Kolter, a lawyer who also teaches martial arts, testified that
he met Sypher in 2005 when he pulled out of his reserved parking place
downtown and Sypher asked if she could use it...He said they first had sex in September that year, when she agreed to
serve as a model for him at the 'Hot Bikes' motorcycle show, where he
was trying to promote his new bike-rental business, Hoosier Daddy. On Valentine's Day 2008, she came to his office in 'an outfit
appropriate' for that holiday and performed oral sex on him, during
which he said she agreed to be photographed, he testified. 'Is that your abdomen?' Kuhn asked Kolter, showing one of the pictures to the jury. 'Unfortunately, yes,' Kolter said." [USA Today]
"Likening herself to African-American civil-rights hero Rosa Parks, Sypher said she will continue fighting in hopes that “power and money don't prevail, that the truth prevails eventually.'" [Courier-Journal]
