Only a few people know what happened between Derrick Rose and the woman accusing him of rape, though it appears as if the public is going to get a bit more involved. That’s because text messages sent by the New York Knicks point guard (who was still with the Chicago Bulls at the time) have been released to the public.
Rose, who is set to go to trial against the woman who claims he and some of his friends raped her, admits that he had sex but says it was consensual.

August 26, 2015, Rose and two close friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton were named in a civil suit filed by Jane Doe. The suit alleges that Doe was drugged by the three men at a party in LA in 2013. In the early hours of August 27, 2013, the men trespassed into her apartment and proceeded to gang rape her while she was unconscious.
The case goes to trial October 4. Rose filed a motion for dismissal in June alleging the victim consented to the sex. On August 22, Rose’s attorneys argued for Doe’s name to be publicly revealed as well, stating that the media had lost attention in the case.
Doe’s attorneys offered the compromise of allowing the use of Doe’s name in trial but keeping courtroom access limited and requiring the media to still use the pseudonym, Jane Doe. Rose’s lawyers are not open to the compromise.
