The sexual assault charge against Los Angeles Lakers' star Kobe Bryant has been dismissed after District Judge Terry Ruckriegle threw out the case.  

The victim's inability to go forward was cited as the reason for the case's dismissal.

Accuser's attorney John Clune said his client was disturbed by a series of mistakes made within the courthouse concerning this case, and that "she does not want to be brought back into the criminal process."

Ruckriegle admitted mistakes had been made and took full responsibility.

Bryant still faces a federal civil lawsuit filed by the accuser for unspecified damages.
