Los Angeles: Portuguese soccer star, Cristiano Ronaldo, 33, is facing allegations of rape by a former model Kathryn Mayorga, who accuses Ronaldo of attacking her in 2009 in his Las Vegas hotel penthouse suite.
The alleged assault was reported by Kathryn the same day to the Las Vegas police and at a local hospital underwent an examination said the lawsuit.
Ronaldo, who now plays for Juventus in Italy’s Serie A, rejected the accusation during a live chat on Instagram by saying it as fake news’ in a post that was later deleted.
“What they said today, fake — fake news.” –Cristiano Ronaldo
The 34-year-old model has accused the footballer in a 32-page complaint filed last month with a district court in Nevada, of raping her on June 13, 2009.
Las Vegas police on October, 1st reopened the criminal investigation that began in 2009.
Kathryn claims in the lawsuit that she was forced into signing a non-disclosure agreement to keep the proclaimed rape secret and is seeking $200,000 in penalties and damages.
Kathryn in the suit told that on the evening of June 12, 2009, she met Ronaldo at the Rain Nightclub in the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
It is shocking that a celebrity like Ronaldo whose name is generally involved in philanthropist activity can do something like this, but it’s a bigger shocker to know that a country who has always been an example for other developing countries can take it all so lightly. As they were waiting for 10 long years to take any action.
