LONDON. – Cristiano Ronaldo has appeared to respond to rape accusations published in a German magazine. Lawyers for the former Manchester United star are to take legal action against Der Spiegel over “blatantly illegal” allegations by an American woman she was raped nine years ago by the star.
Kathryn Mayorga (34) was unveiled on Friday as the woman who has accused Ronaldo of sexually assaulting her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009.
Mayorga says the Portuguese footballer raped her in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009 while she repeatedly screamed no, according to a lawsuit filed on Friday in Clark County. After the attack, according to the lawsuit, Ronaldo apologised, “stating he was sorry, he was usually a gentleman.” The lawsuit alleges that Ronaldo himself told his team of fixers that “she said ‘no’ and ‘stop’ several times.”
Mayorga’s lawsuit accuses Ronaldo and his team of taking advantage of her fragile emotional state to coerce her into signing a settlement and nondisclosure agreement in 2009. She claims she received $375 000 in exchange for her silence; her lawsuit seeks to void the settlement and agreement. – The Mirror-CNN.
