LOS ANGELES - A woman who says Derrick Rose and two friends gang-raped her wept quietly in court as her lawyer provided jurors with lurid descriptions but the NBA star's defense fired back by portraying the encounter as something from a porn film, not a horror movie.
Opening statements began Wednesday in the woman's $21.5 million federal court lawsuit, which claims she was either drugged or had drunkenly passed out before the sexual encounters at her apartment in August 2013.
She was the victim of a "classic gang rape" by a man -- Rose -- who has never shown remorse and told New York Knicks President Phil Jackson that he'd lost no sleep over the matter, attorney Waukeen McCoy said.
