LOS ANGELES — New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose is seeking to recoup $70,000 in court costs from the woman who lost a sexual assault lawsuit against him and two friends in Los Angeles, according to court papers obtained today.
Rose and his co-defendants were cleared of liability last month after a two-week jury trial in federal court.
The woman who filed the $21.5 million suit — a 30-year-old ex-girlfriend of Rose — claimed the athlete and his friends broke into her apartment near downtown Los Angeles and raped her while she was incapacitated three years ago.
