I Await The Result Of The Rape Scandal – Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo again denied allegations that he raped a woman in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009, writing on Twitter on Wednesday that it is an “abominable crime” and that the claim is being made “by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense.”

According to a civil lawsuit filed in state court in Las Vegas last week, Kathryn Mayorga, who was then 25, alleged that Ronaldo raped her in his hotel room in the city, then was coerced into signing a nondisclosure agreement in 2010 in an out-of-court settlement in exchange for $375,000.

It asks for general damages, special damages, punitive damages and special relief, each in excess of $50,000, along with interest, attorney fees and court costs.

“I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me,” Ronaldo wrote on Twitter. “Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in. Keen as I may be to clear my name, I refuse to feed the media spectacle created by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense.

“My clear conscience will thereby allow me to await with tranquillity the results of any and all investigations.”

Police have reopened their investigation into the incident at Mayorga’s request.

Leslie Stovall, Mayorga’s attorney, said at a news conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday that the assault caused Mayorga severe mental and emotional damage. Mayorga was not in attendance.

“She has decided not to make herself available to the media and stay out of the public because of her emotional state,” Stovall told the news conference. “It is not pleasant for her.”

Stovall added that a psychiatrist determined Mayorga suffers post-traumatic stress and depression because of the alleged attack.
