LOS ANGELES: A woman accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends of raping her wept as she testified in her $21.5 million lawsuit against the New York Knicks guard. The woman didn’t report the alleged incident to police until 2015. His attorney Mark Baute has painted the lawsuit as a “fake case” in which the woman was seeking a “lottery hit” of a financial payout. The plaintiff also told Baute that she never told Rose that she thought he had raped her. Rose, a former NBA Most Valuable Player with the Chicago Bulls, was traded to the Knicks this season after spending seven seasons with his hometown club.
