The accuser has fought to stay anonymous, but an L.A. judge ruled that her name must be revealed during the trial when it begins Oct. 4. Jane Doe, as she is listed now, says that Rose and his two friends had non-consensual sex with her after she was incapacitated from a night of drinking. Rose claims that the sex was consensual.
He is in the final season of a five-year $94.3 million deal and is scheduled to make $21.3 million in 2016-17 after being traded to the New York Knicks this offseason.
