Kleber, an All-State offensive lineman from Waukesha CatholicMemorial High School, said moments after he told the teenager notto go into the bathroom, he watched her collapse in the basementand asked her what happened.
"She said 'Nothing. I swear on my life. I swear on the HolyBible. I swear on my parents' life. Nothing,'" Kleber quoted theteen as saying.
Kleber told defense attorney Gerald Boyle that during a drinkinggame Chmura's accuser and another teen were flirting with Chmura.He said Chmura kept calling his accuser "Hilary" and she kepttelling him that wasn't her name.
"She was extremely nice," Kleber said.
