LAPD has open criminal rape investigation of Derrick Rose

A letter filed last week by a Los Angeles Police Department detective confirms cops have “a current and open criminal investigation” into an alleged rape by Knicks point guard Derrick Rose.

Rose is headed to a civil trial, beginning Oct. 4, over allegations he and two friends gang-raped a woman in Los Angeles during the summer of 2013. The lawsuit seeks $21.5 million. Rose and his lawyers say the men had consensual sex with the woman, a former girlfriend of Rose’s.

The memo, dated last Thursday, is addressed to the alleged victim’s attorney, and may be used to bolster her case.
