A massage therapist with martial-arts training — and possibly a penchant for group sex — looms large over the $21.5 million civil rape trial against Knick Derrick Rose.
Jessica “Kendra” Groff is scheduled to testify as early as Tuesday in Los Angeles federal court about what happened between Rose, his two friends and their accuser, who claims they gang-raped her in August 2013.
But Groff, who accompanied the accuser to Rose’s Beverly Hills home the night of the alleged attack, is also the subject of a mistrial motion brought by Rose’s attorneys last week.
The attorneys claim the accuser, who had dated the NBA star on and off, purposely deleted a telling text message sent early on Aug.
