LAPD Continues to Investigate Derrick Rose Over Sexual Assault Allegations

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Los Angeles police are continuing to investigate allegations of sexual assault against New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose.

Police said there was no timetable for the conclusion of the investigation, according to ESPN, after a woman filed a civil sexual assault case against the NBA star on Aug. 26, 2015.

The suit alleges Rose and two friends raped the woman after slipping a drug into her drink in August 2013, according to ESPN.

Rose said Monday he was not aware of the investigation.

“I’m not worried about it, but if I do have to miss time it’s a part of it,” he said at Knicks media day according to ESPN. “Of course, I don’t want to be in this position, but it is what it is. I’m going to let my lawyers handle that, let my team handle it.”

The trial is set to begin next week after a federal judge in July denied Rose’s motion to dismiss the case.
