Cristiano Ronaldo faces allegations of sexual assault
January 11, 2024
Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most famous and successful footballers in the world, is facing allegations of sexual assault. The allegations were first made public in 2018 by Kathryn Mayorga, a woman who claims that Ronaldo raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009.
Mayorga filed a civil lawsuit against Ronaldo in 2018, but the case was dismissed by a US judge in 2022. Mayorga appealed the dismissal, and the case is currently being reheard by a Nevada appeals court.
In her lawsuit, Mayorga alleges that she met Ronaldo at a nightclub in Las Vegas in 2009. She says that Ronaldo invited her back to his hotel room, where he raped her. Mayorga says that she reported the assault to the police, but they declined to press charges.
Ronaldo has denied the allegations, calling them “fake news.” He has also said that he will cooperate with any investigation into the matter.
The allegations against Ronaldo have had a significant impact on his career. He has been criticized by fans and sponsors, and his reputation has been tarnished.
If the allegations are proven to be true, it would be a major scandal for Ronaldo and for the sport of football. It would also raise questions about the way that sexual assault allegations are handled in the United States.
The case is ongoing, and it is unclear how it will be resolved. However, the allegations have already had a significant impact on Ronaldo’s career and reputation.
