Derrick Rose Sued by Woman Claiming He and 2 Friends Drugged and Gang Raped Her

The California woman was drugged and raped by Rose and his friends in August 2013, the lawsuit said.

Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose was sued by a woman claiming he and two childhood friends drugged and raped her in 2013.

Named as defendants along with Rose, 26, are Randall Hampton, who “has been Rose’s best friend since sixth grade and is now his main assistant,” according to the lawsuit, and Ryan Allen, a South Holland native who “grew up with Rose and is now his assistant.”

Ten others were also named defendants, but the woman does not know their identities or the degree of their involvement in the alleged incident. They are referred to only as “Does 1-10.”

The woman, identified in her lawsuit as “Jane Doe,” says she met Rose at a party he threw in October 2011. He seemed “shy,” the suit said, and they became involved in an “intimate relationship.”

Over the course of almost two years, Rose repeatedly pressured the woman to engage in sex acts she felt uncomfortable performing and to participate in group sex, the lawsuit said. Despite this, the woman “still had feelings for Rose and naively assumed he could resume a normal one-on-one relationship,” the lawsuit said. “In retrospect, (she) was naive.”

In August 2013, Rose invited the woman to a party at a Beverly Hills Home, the suit said. He asked her to bring along a friend.

When they arrived, Allen allegedly offered the woman and her friend tequila. While she was drinking, someone managed to slip a drug into her glass, the suit said.

The woman’s friend was able to send her home in a cab, the suit said, but the next morning, Rose and his friends followed her there, made their way into her unlocked apartment and raped her while she was still slipping in and out of consciousness.

When the woman came to, the suit said, her dress was around her neck, her body was covered in lubricant, and her bed and the floor were littered with soiled condoms.

About a month later, the suit said, Allen called the woman while she was in church. He allegedly told the woman he was unaware of her being drugged, “thought she had wanted it,” and told her “this is what they do all the time, especially when they are in LA; the girls in LA ask them to have group sex with them because they recognize them as NBA players.”
