Reports: LAPD Actively Investigating Rape Allegation Against Derrick Rose

LOS ANGELES (CBSNewYork) — Knicks point guard Derrick Rose is now the subject of a criminal rape investigation in Los Angeles, according to multiple reports.

According to the reports, the LAPD confirmed in a letter to Rose’s accuser that there is an active investigation into the August 2013 incident in which the 30-year-old woman claims the former MVP and two other men raped her while she was incapacitated after a night of drinking.

Rose and the others have denied the claims and say the sex was consensual.

The alleged victim filed a $21 million lawsuit against Rose last year.
