Exclusive: Will These Text Messages Clear Derrick Rose In Rape Case?

Rose’s accuser, who is only ID’d as “Jane Doe” in court papers, sued him and his two friends last year after she said they drugged her, broke into her house and gang raped her.

The alleged victim said she dated Rose from 2011 to 2013, and during the time she said Rose pressured her into doing various sexual acts like masturbating on camera, allowing him to have sex with her friends and demanding she participate in group sex.

Then in August 2013, the woman claimed that Rose and his two friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton, invited her to the NBA star’s L.A. mansion, and said someone slipped a drug into her drink with the aim of raping her.

The woman said she escaped the home with a friend but later in the evening Rose and his friends broke into her home and gang raped her while she was knocked out. The woman filed sued and is demanding $21 million in damages.

The NBA star fired back at the lawsuit saying it was nothing more than a shameless money grab. Rose denied all allegations that he raped the woman and said she was cool with everything that happened between them.

A judge from the U.S. District Court in California ordered the rape trial to begin Oct. 4 in Los Angeles and it’s expected to last eight days. However, both sides will have until August to try to settle out of court with a private mediator.
