Pete Rose Will Not Participate in Phillies Alumni Weekend
Last month, Fox Sports fired its programming chief Jamie Horowitz amid a sexual harassment probe, and Fox News is still reeling from a widespread sexual harassment scandal
that led to the ouster of its founding chairman, its top anchor and several other employees.
The deposition was filed on Monday in relation to Rose’s defamation lawsuit against John Dowd, whose 1989 investigation
of Rose’s bets on baseball games resulted in Rose’s being barred from Major League Baseball for life.
The Philadelphia Phillies announced on Wednesday that Pete Rose would not be participating in Alumni Weekend events the team is holding from Aug. 10 to 13, two days after an unidentified woman alleged in a deposition
that she and Rose had a sexual relationship when she was 15.
In the deposition, the woman making the claim about the sexual relationship said it occurred in the 1970s while she was under the age of 16.
As a special prosecutor for Major League Baseball, Dowd led the investigation into Rose’s bets.
Years later, during a 2015 radio interview, he said
that a memorabilia dealer, Michael Bertolini, had stated that Rose had girls as young as 12 brought to him during spring training.
