Bulls' Derrick Rose says woman consented to group sex

LOS ANGELES — Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose says in a court filing that a woman accusing him of sexual battery consented to group sex and became upset because she felt she should be reimbursed for a sex toy.

The Sept. 24 filing is in response to a lawsuit filed by a woman identified as Jane Doe alleging Rose and two other men drugged and gang-raped her at her home. The case has been transferred to U.S. District Court, and a scheduling conference is set for Nov. 9.

An attorney for Rose also is accusing three of the plaintiff's lawyers of making "extortionate and unprofessional demands" for payments by the point guard to the woman.
