The Derrick Rose sexual assault case we've been reading about for the last few months is a civil one -- his trial date on October 4 concerns a lawsuit and potential monetary damages, not a criminal case. In the lead-up, we have heard conflicting stories about whether or not there is an additional criminal investigation into the Rose case. Monday, LAPD confirms that there is, via a letter published on The White Bronco.
This ThinkProgress piece includes some details on how this may affect the civil trial -- and specifically the accuser's right to anonymity during the trial, which is thus far expected to be denied.
