Derrick Rose is responding to a lawsuit filed in August 2015 by a woman who is described in reports as a former girlfriend. The suit alleges that Rose and two friends committed a serious sexual assault against her. The claims are allegations only. They have not been proven in court, and Rose denies them.
According to a statement from Rose’s attorney, Lisa Cohen, the lawsuit is an attempt to shake down a highly respected and successful athlete. Cohen said she and her client have complete confidence that the case will be dismissed and that Rose will be vindicated, and she called the lawsuit outrageous.
Rose’s attorney also addressed the question of whether the two knew each other. According to the statement, Rose and the woman had a consensual, non exclusive relationship that lasted more than two years.
The woman has not been named in this report. At this point the case is only beginning, and the court will decide what the facts are. Baller Alert will keep readers posted as the story develops.
