The Washington Post suspended a reporter who posted a negative article about basketball star Kobe Bryant after he died in a helicopter crash on Jan. 27.

Shortly after news broke about Bryant’s death, Felicia Sonmez posted a link on Twitter to a 2016 article that detailed rape allegations against Bryant in 2003. The case referred to in the article was ultimately dropped and a civil case was settled out of court.
