LOS ANGELES -- A woman accusing NBA star Derrick Rose of rape cannot remain anonymous at her upcoming civil trial, a Los Angeles judge ruled Tuesday.Lawyers for the woman, who is identified in court documents as Jane Doe, argued that her privacy should be protected because she is vulnerable and she has already been harassed after her name was leaked.U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald said the law was very clear on the issue and he wouldnt close his courtroom to protect her identity. He said any decision by the news media about whether to name her is a journalistic decision.The Associated Press typically does not identify alleged victims of sexual abuse.The woman sued Rose last year, claiming the former MVP and two of his friends raped her in August 2013 while she was incapacitated after a night of drinking. Rose and the others deny her claims and contend they had consensual sex with her that night.The 30-year-old college student told the AP that her family knew nothing about her involvement with Rose or the lawsuit seeking $21.5 million and she wanted to keep it that way and avoid the spotlight.But Roses lawyer wanted her name made public and cited interviews and a news teleconference she conducted as Jane Doe last week as a reason to use her real name.Rose, 27, is one of the NBAs most prominent, but injury-prone, stars.He played his first seven seasons in Chicago, winning Rookie of the Year and, in 2011, MVP honors. He is in his first season with the New York Knicks after being traded in the final year of a five-year deal with Chicago that will pay him $21.3 million.Rose and the woman dated non-exclusively for nearly two years before the alleged rape.Lawyers for the woman said outside court that they were disappointed shed lose her anonymity at trial.Attorney Waukeen McCoy said it was just another way the defense has tried to pressure her to drop the lawsuit, including an attempt to depose her parents.Its not unheard of for a plaintiff to be granted anonymity in a sensitive matter, said attorney Doug Mirell, who is not involved in the case.There are plenty of examples in civil and criminal law where parties or witnesses have been granted anonymity, such as the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, witnesses in mob trials or third parties who were sexual assault victims.Its also likely for that protection to later be challenged. In the Rose case, it wasnt as clear cut that the accuser needed to remain nameless.I think the finger, if not the hand, is on the side of the scale that says identify, Mirell said.Soon after Fitzgerald ruled on the issue of the womans identity, Roses attorney, Mark Baute, revealed the womans name and was warned by the judge that she would remain anonymous until trial. He had her name struck from the record.When Baute said her name a second time, Fitzgerald issued a stern rebuke and ordered him to write an explanation of why he shouldnt be sanctioned $1,000.Do not test my patience, Fitzgerald said.Baute said it was an accident.Interest in the case has grown as the Oct. 4 trial nears, especially in light of several high-profile cases of women who say they were raped while incapacitated.The six-month jail term for ex-Stanford swimmer Brock Turner for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman sparked a public outcry over the punishment. Bill Cosby is fighting allegations by dozens of women who say he drugged and sexually abused them.Former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper was sentenced to more than 18 years in federal prison in August after he pleaded no contest to charges he drugged and raped women in four states.There have been no criminal charges in Roses case. 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.---Associated Press Writer Anthony McCartney contributed to this report.

NEW YORK -- The matchup of young superstars Connor McDavid and John Tavares will be the main attraction Saturday night at Barclays Center. But McDavids Edmonton Oilers and Tavares New York Islanders will be less concerned about individual duels and more about snapping their respective teams losing streak when the Islanders host the Oilers in the fourth game of a five-game homestand.The Oilers suffered their third straight defeat Thursday, when they blew a trio of one-goal leads and gave up the final three goals in the third period of a 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers. The Islanders lost for the second straight time, and the fourth time in five games, when they blew a third-period lead before falling to the Philadelphia Flyers in the shootout.The losing streaks have reminded both the Oilers (7-3-1) and Islanders (4-6-1) how narrow the line is between victory and defeat in the NHL. Edmonton fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-2, in overtime on Tuesday.Obviously, youre never certain about anything -- youve got to play all 60 minutes, Oilers head coach Todd McLellan said.The Islanders have been reminded of that numerous times this season. New York has been tied or ahead in the third period in five of its seven losses.The Islanders inability to put games away is tied into the lack of scoring they have received from forwards. New York, which lost three of its nine 10-goal scorers from last year to free agency (Kyle Okposo, Frans Nielsen and Matt Martin) is tied for 12th in the league with 30 goals but has received just 19 ggoals from non-defensemen.dddddddddddd Offseason signings Jason Chimera and Andrew Ladd have yet to score a goal.Thats my concern -- where are we going to get point production? Islanders head coach Jack Capuano said. Took 134 points out of our lineup that we lost and now weve got to find a way.If the Oilers or Islanders are going to steer out of their skids, theyll likely do so behind McDavid or Tavares. McDavid, who became the youngest captain in NHL history when he was bestowed the C prior to this season at age 19, leads Edmonton with five goals and eight assists. Tavares, who was a comparatively wizened 22 years old when New York named him captain prior to the 2013-14 season, has four assists and a team-high five goals.This will be the third time McDavid and Tavares oppose one another. McDavid had one goal and one assist while Tavares had a goal and two assists as the Oilers and Islanders split last seasons series.With both teams having Friday off, number one goaltenders Cam Talbot and Jaroslav Halak are likely to draw the starts. Talbot, who has started all 11 games this season for the Oilers, is 4-1-0 in seven career appearances against the Islanders. He earned the win the last time he faced New York on Feb. 28, when Talbot stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 3-1 victory at Rexall Place.Halak is 8-3-1 in 13 career appearances against the Oilers. He made 23 saves in taking the loss on Feb. 28. ' ' '
