Kobe Bryant accuser cannot be called 'victim'

Understanding that there is a need not to prejudice juries, it boggles the mind the standard ways that defense attorneys manage their cases. The traditional technique of making it seem like the alleged victim is not a "victim" (and by inference I suppose is a tramp, or "wanted it", or is something other than a doe-eyed virgin) is reptilian and repulsive.

Can't defense attorneys come up with a more imaginative way of defending their clients than sleazily slyly suggesting the accuser deserved what they got?
