Bulls point guard and former NBA MVP Derrick Rose is the latest high-profile athlete to be accused of sexual assault. An ex-girlfriend of Rose’s claims that Rose and two associates, one of whom is his manager, broke into her home and forcibly gang raped her in 2013.
The accuser, whose name has not been released, said that she was invited to Rose’s home one night where he and his friends slipped a drug into her drink with the intention of raping her. She claims she escaped, only for Rose and the two other men to make their way into her home and commit the sexual assault. She said she can only remember “flashes” of the incident because she was incapacitated, but she does remember them raping her, according to TMZ.

She claims she waited so long to file charges because she has a “conservative” family, and felt “ashamed and embarrassed” about what happened.
The Bulls released a statement about the matter that read, “We just learned about this matter and do not have all the facts. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”

The woman said she dated Rose for two years—from 2011 to 2013—and during that time Rose had tried to “pressure her to masturbate in front of him, allow him to have sex with her friends and engage in group sex with strangers.” She says she refused those requests.
On the court Rose made it through 51 games last season but failed to re-capture his MVP form. He averaged 17.7 points, 4.9 assists and 3.2 rebounds. He shot 40.5 percent from the field, but was dreadful from beyond the arc, connecting on just 28 percent of his 3-point attempts.
