EAGLE, Colo. -- The Denver Post, the Los Angeles Times, NBC and the Vail Daily have asked a district judge to release some of the material related to the assault charge against Lakers star Kobe Bryant.

An Eagle County district judge has sealed most documents, including the arrest affidavit, details of the physical evidence and other information related to the case.

Lawyers for the Vail Daily and the alleged victim filed written arguments Tuesday in the newspaper's request for police reports it believes are related to the woman. Prosecutor Mark Hurlbert may file his own brief, spokeswoman Krista Flannigan told The Associated Press.

According to the Denver Post, the 19-year-old woman who accused Bryant of sexually assaulting her had "visible evidence" of the alleged attack a week later, one of her friends told the Denver Post.

Luke Bray, reportedly a friend of the accuser, declined to be more specific out of respect for his friend and her family.

"There is visible evidence of what happened," he told the newspaper.

Eagle County sheriff's spokeswoman Kim Andree declined comment to The Associated Press on Bray's statement. Neither prosecutor Mark Hurlbert nor Bryant's attorneys returned telephone messages seeking comment.

Hurlbert has said he believes he has enough physical and testimonial evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

The accuser is a college student who took a summer job at the Lodge & Spa at the Cordillera in nearby Edwards. Friends say she is an energetic former cheerleader known for her love of music. She once tried out for the television program, "American Idol."

Bray, 21, reportedly saw the woman about a week after the alleged assault on June 30. "She was still shaken up. She was pretty much in denial," he said. "She couldn't believe it."

The 24-year-old Bryant was charged with one count of sexually assaulting the concierge at an exclusive mountain resort last month. He said the sex was consensual and that he only committed adultery.

The Los Angeles Lakers star is free on bond pending an Aug. 6 court hearing during which he will be formally advised of the charge against him.
