The woman accusing Derrick Rose of rape testified Thursday in the civil trial of her $21.5 million lawsuit against the New York Knicks guard.
The woman, 30, who has only been identified in documents as Jane Doe, cried when questioned by her attorney in a Los Angeles courtroom about the night of question, August 26, 2013. The woman claims Rose and two friends drugged and sexually assaulted her after she was drinking vodka and tequila at Rose's rented Beverly Hills mansion. "I just felt I was less in control, more goofy," she said, via The Associated Press , stating drinking tequila with Rose in the past gave her strength. "This was the opposite."
As the woman continually wept during the trial, Rose's defense lawyer Michael Monico complained during a break that they couldn't have her "crying all day" and suggested the judge issue a "no crying" order.
"I'm not going to order the witness not to cry any more than I'm going to order her not to breathe," U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald replied.
The woman alleges after she returned to her apartment she had vague recollections of what happened afterward.
"I recall waking up and seeing them in my room," she said of the three men. At one point she remembered Rose standing at the edge of her bed undressed and pulling her toward him.
