OAKLAND, Calif. -- The woman who brought a lawsuit accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two others of gang rape is leading two drastically different lives.She is the central figure identified only as Jane Doe in a made-for-tabloid case replete with unsavory details about the sexual relationship she had with one of pro basketballs biggest names and the night she says he and his two friends sexually assaulted her when she was passed out.And she is a 30-year-old college student whose family knows nothing about her involvement with Rose or the lawsuit, which seeks $21.5 million. Keeping her Mexican immigrant parents, siblings and many nieces and nephews in the dark is critically important to her and gets harder as the Oct. 4 trial date looms and more attention is focused on the case.They have a sense somethings wrong, but theres no way I can express to them or explain to them how I feel or what Im going through, the woman told The Associated Press in her first media interview. Having to think of alternative ways to communicate that pain is very stressful and it takes a lot out of you.While she seeks to maintain her anonymity so she can continue a life out of the spotlight, Roses attorneys want her name made public, believing it will help expose her as a fraud. So far a judge has agreed her identity can be kept secret but a hearing Monday could change that.This is not a rape case. Its pure and simple extortion by a plaintiff who wants to hide behind the cloak of anonymity while seeking millions in damages from a celebrity with whom she was in a long-term, nonexclusive consensual sexual relationship, Roses lawyers wrote in a court filing in Los Angeles, where the case is in U.S. District Court.Stakes are high for Rose, who was traded to the New York Knicks this offseason. A former MVP with his hometown Chicago Bulls, he is looking to return to his All-Star level in a city that often is unforgiving for big-time athletes who dont live up to expectations.The trials scheduled start date also is Roses 28th birthday and comes during the first week of the NBA preseason. The last place Rose wants to be is in a cross-country courtroom listening to testimony about his sex life when he could be in New York working out with his new teammates.Even if he prevails in this case, the embarrassing, public details could damage his reputation and marketability. Both sides acknowledge a settlement remains a possibility.The woman alleges Rose and two of his friends gang-raped her at her home in the early morning hours of Aug. 27, 2013, forcing their way in after she drank so much she vomited and later blacked out. Rose and the defense claim she let them inside her apartment and willingly had sex.Someone who is overly intoxicated cannot legally consent to sex and the woman says she was in no condition to provide affirmation for Rose, who she had dated for nearly two years, let alone the two men with him: close friends and co-defendants Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton.As soon as I woke up, I was dressed, I had my dress on from the previous night and I never go to sleep with what Im wearing. I always prepare myself first to go to sleep, the women said during the interview in Oakland, a couple of hours from where she grew up in Northern California. So I had the dress and it was up on my neck and I felt very wet and slippery. There was lubricant all over my bed and on my legs. Everything was tossed in my bed. There was a condom wrapper and a closed one not used.That was just shocking to see all that, almost like I didnt want to believe it.Roses defense team said her roommate was home and nearby the entire night and never testified to being concerned her friend was in distress. Roses legal filings contend he and his friends had no idea the woman was severely drunk, and say she personally let them into the apartment and her bedroom.Lawyers for Rose may also call a former co-worker who said the woman was bragging about having sex with the NBA star hours after the alleged rape.The salacious allegations of a woman who is now on a media tour -- who also claims to not remember much from that night -- do not change what transpired that evening, which was consensual intercourse between Mr. Rose and the plaintiff, attorney Mark Baute wrote in a statement to the AP.The case comes amid heightened attention on sexual assaults involving incapacitated women, driven by several high-profile cases.Ex-Stanford swimmer Brock Turner was sentenced to just a six-month jail term for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, sparking public outcry over the punishment. Bill Cosby is fighting allegations by dozens of women who say he drugged and sexually abused them.Last month, former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper was sentenced to more than 18 years in federal prison after he pleaded no contest to charges he drugged and raped women in four states.In Roses case, there as yet are no criminal charges. The woman went to Los Angeles police two years after the incident and so far no evidence has been forwarded to the district attorneys office for review and possible prosecution, DA spokeswoman Jane Robison said.But there are endorsements that could be lost and a reputation damaged for him and the Knicks. Rose is set to begin the final year of his contract.He and the alleged victim met in the glitz of a Hollywood party he hosted in 2011, the year he won league MVP honors. Both sides agree the relationship was long-running and involved consensual sex. She said she cared deeply for Rose, and they communicated regularly via Skype or by phone, and saw each other when he came to California. She also took a trip to see him in Chicago.In August 2013, Rose was in Southern California rehabbing a knee injury and she was working in Los Angeles. They partied at Roses rental house the night of Aug. 26 and then she went home after consuming vodka, wine and tequila. The men showed up several hours later.She said she remembers nothing while Roses side said she was alert after intercourse and even cleaned up her room.After they had left, she said she rushed to the shower but didnt even feel the sensation of the water she was in such shock.I felt just dirty, she said. ... Like I didnt want to believe it was true.Roses attorneys question why she didnt immediately report the alleged rape to police or get examined at a hospital. They say she went to police only after she failed at multiple attempts to get money from Mr. Rose.The woman said she showed up late for work and was in no condition emotionally to talk to police or seek treatment, though she said a concerned co-worker she had told about her condition upon waking up encouraged her to go to the authorities and even called a lawyer on her behalf. Her right hand was in pain from burning it the previous night at Roses home, and it had begun to blister. The co-worker is scheduled to be a witness.I didnt want to tell anyone what happened. I didnt want nobody to know, she said. I wanted to erase the fact that I woke up the way I did. I only told him because it was almost necessary for me the way I walked in. I felt like I wasnt going to be able to do the job for that day.She did reach out to Rose via text message. He wouldnt answer her questions about the specifics of what had happened, she said.The woman believes she has been unfairly painted as promiscuous, disputing Roses side claiming she had sex with other NBA players.Brandon Anand, one of her attorneys, said Roses legal team is using a campaign of harassment to try to intimidate her.Its been that way from Day 1, Anand said. Its been very aggressive. There have been threats to leak her name to the public, attempts to depose her parents, who they know very well have no knowledge of this.The woman is the youngest child from a large, conservative and religious family from Mexico. If her parents learn the truth, she fears devastating the entire family.They already have very traditional cultural expectations of me, she said.The woman hopes that by winning her case and maintaining her anonymity, she can empower other women.I want to share my story so women can know that they are able to come forward and remain anonymous and not to have to have the burden or the worry that their loved ones will find out, she said.As the case plays out, she continues going to school in San Francisco during the week and returning to her family on weekends. The independent life far from home that she once dreamed of no longer seems important because everything I had fought for was kind of the reason I had been in this situation, because I wanted to be so independent and prove myself to my family.It made me understand why women feel the need to have someone by their side that is able to protect them and able to keep them safe, she said. ...

PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby is back on the ice, but he wont be in the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup on Thursday when they begin their defense of the Stanley Cup.Crosby, the Penguins captain and arguably the NHLs best player, participated in some of the teams practice Wednesday, but his latest concussion will keep him out of the season opener against the rival Washington Capitals.Its a game Crosby certainly didnt want to miss -- the Penguins will raise their fourth Stanley Cup banner during pregame ceremonies at PPG Paints Arena. Then again, the ultra-competitive Crosby doesnt like missing a game for any reason.Especially for this reason -- a concussion, the same dreaded injury that caused him to miss big chunks of the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, when Crosby was at his statistical and competitive best.Its a game you want to be part of but, at the same time, I think Ive spent more than enough time being in this situation, Crosby said after practicing Wednesday in a yellow no-contact jersey. I think you understand you have to be patient, you have to listen to your body. If youre ready, youre ready. If not, then you dont take any chances -- and give yourself a lot better chance of not having it happen again if you treat it the right way.The Penguins started the 2011-12 season without Crosby, going 11-6-3 before he returned briefly only to be diagnosed with a concussion yet again. As center Evgeni Malkin said, We know how to play without Sid.But there are signs this layoff might not be as long as those during Crosbys past concussion issues.Crosbys latest concussion diagnosis was on Monday, but the superstar skated Tuesday and took part in drills Wednesday.Im always happy when Im on the ice, Crosby said.And coach Mike Sullivan is hinting Crosbys time off might not be lengthy.As they (injured players) make progress, you add to the intensity of their workouts and see how they respond, Sullivan said. As players respond the right way, you can take it to the next level. Thats the process weve gone through here with Sid.The Capitals, of course, know what they must do to reach the next level, and thats get past the Penguins.Washinggton easily was the NHLs best regular-season team in 2015-16, accumulating 120 points -- 11 more than any team in the league, and 16 more than Pittsburgh.dddddddddddd But the Capitals lost three of five to the Penguins during the season, and then were eliminated by them in six games in the Eastern Conference semifinals -- the seventh in eight series theyve lost to Pittsburgh.We have no bitterness toward Pittsburgh, Vezina Trophy-winning goalie Braden Holtby said. They earned it, they earned the Stanley Cup. Any bitterness is toward us, how we didnt perform well enough to beat them.On Thursday, Holtby said, the Capitals cant be thinking about what happened last year but rather what they need to do this year.Were going in to play our game and get two points to start off the season, he said.But while Penguins stars Crosby and Malkin now have two Stanley Cup rings, Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin has yet to play in the finals -- and the Penguins are a big reason why.I dont think we played bad, every game was a close game, Ovechkin said. But we didnt get it done last year.Every year were in the same position: We think this is the year. I think it is time to not talk, it is time to move forward.Both teams are largely unchanged from 2015-16, a rarity during the free agency era in which clubs often undergo extensive roster alterations from season to season.The soon-to-be 40-year-old Matt Cullen will replace Crosby on the Penguins top line with left wing Conor Sheary and right wing Patric Hornqvist.You cant replace Sid. Its a group effort, to fill holes and play effectively while hes out.The Penguins also will be without Stanley Cup-winning goalie Matt Murray, who broke a hand during the World Cup. Hell be replaced by Marc-Andre Fleury, who lost his starting job to Murray late last season after sustaining his second concussion of the season.Fleury, who was in net when the Penguins won the Stanley Cup in 2009, will start his 11th consecutive season opener for Pittsburgh, and his 12th in 13 seasons.
