NBA star Derrick Rose testified Friday in a lawsuit accusing him and two friends of raping his ex-girlfriend, saying he interpreted a text message from the woman as consent to have sex with her later that night. Rose said he later walked outside and saw his friend having sex with the woman, who pulled Rose over to join them. Lawyers for Rose presented text messages from the woman to a friend at a time when she was unemployed. Rose’s lawyer used a string of text messages as a timeline to question the woman’s story and whether she even drank enough to black out hours later. And he questioned how she had managed to send lucid text messages during that period, several of which invited Rose to her apartment.
