New Knicks guard Derrick Rose plans to use the women closest to his rape accuser—a former friend, co-worker and roommate—to defend the case and prove his claim that the ex-girlfriend is a lying, money hungry extortionist, according to a trial brief filed late Tuesday.
Former pal Gabriela Chavez will testify that the accuser partied with her in Las Vegas just weeks after the alleged rape, and even said she had consensual group sex with Rose and two friends on Aug. 27, 2013, according to the brief.
Her co-worker Keyana LaVergne will say that the accuser put in a full day of work just hours after she was allegedly assaulted, and showed her colleague photos of sex toys on her computer, Rose’ lawyer Mark Baute says in the brief.
