The woman who accused Bulls star Derrick Rose of raping her in her L.A. apartment in 2013 is demanding $21.5 million in damages, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports. The accuser is seeking $6 million in compensatory damages and $15.5 million in punitive.
The accuser says she initially invited Rose into her home, at which point he and his friend drugged her with the intention of raping her. After she escaped, she says Rose and his two friends broke into her home and gang raped her.

Rose eventually acknowledged he had participated in group sex with the woman, but maintained it was consensual.
The allegations came to light in late August, at which point the Bulls released a statement 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."
