OT: TMZ - Rose being sued/accused of drugging and gang raping former GF

[Red Larrivee]

If this is the 3rd lawyer then why haven't we heard about the first 2? I'm interested in why she needs 3.

First two times she wants to settle privately. Now going to the next step... TMZ

First two lawyers thought her case was garbage.

3rd lawyer: "LETS GO TO TMZ!"

That has to be it honestly. How is it possible that 2 lawyers can't even have enough evidence for the 3rd lawyer. Is there not a limit on how many times you can try to sue?

[DASMACKDOWN]

To me, anytime you wants money initially as justice, totally darkens the intent.

For instance, If you saw a person kill your family, the first thing you think isn't to sue. You will want that person behind bars.

The reason she proposes a civil suit, is that she is banking on the hope that Derrick's advisers would eventually say - "What is a mil or two for her to go away to you? You are worth like 300 mil."

But if this really is a lie, I am behind Derrick 100% and he shouldn't give her a dime. Fight it all the way and prosecute her in the process. However long it takes.

Like people have said, I feel sorry for people that have a legit case.

But if the first 2 couldn't find solid evidence then what makes her think the 3rd will just by going public. When you dont have evidence I would think you'd need to attack the person's character to show how he could've done it. Things is it's hard to do with Rose because he's quiet and is known as a nice guy both in his city and in other places.

Hard to know what comes through this girl's mind, or her latest attorney's. Making things public may prompt Rose to settle things privately. You never know. Looks like a desperate, nothing to lose move

It is incredibly rare for women to lie about being raped. It would be shocking for any mentally competent women to lie about a rape this barbaric. Reading through a lot of comments in this thread, its not hard to understand why most victims of sexual assault do not come forward at all.

agree, only slut and gold digger did that.

I prosecuted for 2 years in Illinois, near a university in the southern portion of the state. Women lie about rape constantly, which hurts the ones who actually come forward. That you think it is incredibly rare is foolish. Working in a university town, we would constantly see women come forward after a long night of drinking, and claim they were drugged and raped. Toxicology comes in, do some investigating, and it turns out college girl **** up because she slept around on her BF and got caught, or some 19 year old white sorority girl slept with a black guy and is embarrassed, etc.

Everyone lies. It is a symptom of human nature. A lot of rape claims are lies. You want to know whats even worse? Majority don't ever come forward. Out of the rape claims we got more then 50% were false, but something like 80 - 90% just were not reported.

In the Rose case here, it smells of BS. The whole story reeks. Let me tell you, no drugged up victim is getting away from 3 huge men. Thats what those drugs are for. 3 attorneys? The first 2 realized the facts were BS and she had to find a real dumpster diving attorney.

If she had reported the rape right away, there would be a mountain of evidence, break-in, DNA, etc. Nothing now. She will be lucky if this case isn't dismissed after discovery. What evidence does she have?

This.

The false allegations make it harder to prosecute the real cases, which further discourages real victims from coming forward.

I don't believe this ish for one second.

Eh, sorta.

Let's take the case of Mailman knocking up a 13 year old. That's a rape case, statutory rape. If that is your daughter, do you try to put Mailman in jail? Or do you go for his money to provide for your daughter and her baby?

Moral of the story, leave the skanks alone.

Never know what's in someone's heart. "Good girls" falsely accuse people as well.

True though not every girl seems like a skank at first.

true but thats easier said than done

[musiqsoulchild]

The real solution to this AND a host of other problems:

Make SEX a service that can be legitimately brought in the marketplace. Then, regulate it.

This has the potential to:

1) Reduce serious crime
2) Put a HUGE DENT in human trafficking
3) Increase public health
4) Increase the tax base of the states and the country

Will not happen though. Too many "believers" in traditional marriage still in this world.

Also, even if you did leave the skanks alone - that doesn't prevent you from being pulled into baseless lawsuits.

So hold on, she was dating a NBA star who was more than likely after her body.
She then refuses to do kinky stuff but goes to a private home where multiple men are plying her and a friend with drinks.
After she escapes with said friend she is then hunted down, has her apartment broken into and is then raped....

That sounds like a bad porno story line.

Pretty much what I thought too

On a side note (and I say this with out specific reference to this particular case) I truly believe people who falsely accuse others of rape should be sent to prison. To be wrongfully accused of a brutal and heinous crime such as rape can ruin a persons reputation and negatively impact their lives in unimaginable ways.

Still more importantly those women are making it harder for the legitamite rape cases out there. Hence why so many keep quiet.

For instance I don't believe Kobe raped that girl in Colorado. My gut with zero evidence (Derrick seems like a good guy is not evidence) is that this is not true but that is simply my gut. There is evidence in the Kobe case that lends it to being false.

The 2 year thing isn't evidence that she is lying though by any means. That is the tricky thing. If you know any abuse victims (hi nice to meet you) it isn't an easy thing to process. Seriously read the book I posted a page or so back.

This won't ruin Derrick either. It didn't ruin Kobe, Ray Lewis is still respected etc....

[blumeany]

Interesting to note that Bulls are saying they've 'just learned about this matter', yet Rose's attorneys are saying that this woman has tried to get a lawsuit going on a couple of occasions prior to this. Sooooo....

[Red Larrivee]

If any of this is remotely plausible, it's:

Side chick and hoes go to Derrick's place.

Alcohol, drugs, loud music, heavy flirtation, the usual.

Girl gets into an argument with someone and leaves with friends, back to her apartment.

Rose and friends drive over after being invited over. Argument could have been settled. Rose and friends open unlocked door to get into her apartment. She might have forgot to lock it, even though she approved them coming over. (Aha! They broke in!)

Side chick has sex with someone, but can't remember who because she got so drugged up and intoxicated before.

She tells friends and they think she could have a case for rape.

She has no case.

1 lawyer, 2 lawyers.
3 lawyers, **** it man, let's just not even discuss it man.

[BR0D1E86]

Also, with the waiting two years thing: let's just pretend that this whole thing is true. This woman is a piece of **** for not opening her mouth sooner and potentially protecting other potential victims if Derrick is indeed a rapist.

I have no idea if this allegation is true, but this is very disrespectful to victims of sexual assault and the guilt and mental anguish they suffer. Many victims can't bring themselves to report immediately for a host of legitimate psychological reasons, none of which make them bad people in any way, shape or form.

[Chicago Brawls]

At this time of the year we usually discuss if Derrick Rose will be available come mid-season.

Right now, somehow, that would seem preferable.
