Kim Roberts and her lawyer Mark Simeon left the courthouse Monday without comment. Roberts, 31, was arrested on March 22 -- eight days after the March 13 party -- on a probation violation from a 2001 conviction for embezzling $25,000 from a photofinishing company in Durham, where she worked as a payroll specialist.
According to court documents, Roberts failed to pay restitution to her former employer, missed appointments with her probation officer and left North Carolina without permission.
During a court appearance in Durham two months ago, Roberts made an obscene gesture at a news camera and stuck out her tongue.
In an interview with police, Roberts called the rape charges a "crock" and said she was with the accuser for almost every moment of the party, according to a motion filed by one defendant's attorneys. In an April interview with the Associated Press, Roberts said she didn't see a rape but believed something happened beyond underage drinking.
A grand jury has indicted three lacrosse players on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual offense. Defense attorneys have proclaimed the players' innocence.
