Cristiano Ronaldo accused of raping American woman in 2009

[Mingle]

Kathryn Mayorga, 34, claims the Portuguese football player raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room, according to German media outlet Der Spiegel. The magazine say Ronaldo paid her $375,000 for her silence.

The five-time World Player of the Year denies the allegations, insisting the sex was consensual. Mayorga's lawyer is now questioning the validity of an out-of-court settlement agreed in Nevada, in which Ronaldo reportedly paid $375,000 (€323,000) for her silence.

Der Spiegel claim the lawyer's case is based on a document containing Ronaldo's account of what happened on 12th June 2009. In it, the 33-year old is quoted as saying "she said 'no' and 'stop' several times."

Mayorga has now spoken publicly for the first time about her encounter with the Juventus forward, who was under contract at Real Madrid when the incident is supposed to have taken place, claiming to have been raped anally after spending an evening partying with Ronaldo while he was on holiday with his cousin and brother-in-law in Las Vegas.

Mayorga also described events following the incident, describing how Ronaldo fell to his knees and told her he was "99 per cent" a "good guy" let down by the "one per cent".

One of the most high-profile sports stars on the planet, the news is likely to achieve global media attention, with Ronaldo and his legal team yet to repsond publicly to the accusations.

Cristiano Ronaldo's lawyers have issued a vehement denial of claims that he raped an American woman in 2009.

Kathryn Mayorga, 34, told German magazine Der Spiegel that she was attacked by the Juventus forward - who was then playing for Real Madrid - in a Las Vegas hotel room. Ronaldo was on holiday in America at the time with his cousin and brother-in-law.

Mayorga told Der Spiegel the pair had spent the evening socialising before he raped her in the hotel. After the alleged incident, she claimed Ronaldo fell to his knees and said he was "99 per cent a good guy" who was let down by the "one per cent". Later, Ronaldo allegedly paid her $375,000 as an out-of-court settlement.

Ronaldo denies the allegations - which first surfaced on the Football Leaks website in April 2017 - and insists the sex was consensual.

His lawyers, Schertz Bergmann Rechtsanwälte, today issued a statement categorically denying the claims, calling Der Spiegel's report "blatantly illegal" and saying they would be pursuing "moral damages in an amount corresponding to the gravity of the infringement, which is probably one of the most serious violations of personal rights in recent years."

Her account sounds very believable to me but whatever the outcome his image is tarnished beyond repair.

Not from the account that she gave. He most likely thinks the same and that every woman wants him. It didn't sound consensual to me so we'll see where this leads. It just doesn't look good for him.
