Gag order issued in Rose rape case

A judge on Thursday ordered lawyers handling a rape lawsuit against Knicks guard Derrick Rose to temporarily stop talking to reporters, faulting lawyers for actions that have raised pretrial publicity about the NBA stars. U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald said Thursday he was inclined to issue a longer gag order in light of pretrial publicity. Rose is being sued by a 30-yearold woman who accuses him and two of his friends of raping her in her apartment in 2013. The woman, identified in court filings only as Jane Doe, had dated Rose for two years.
