The Portuguese soccer icon allegedly raped the woman after agreeing to move to Real Madrid from Manchester United in a transfer deal worth €94 million in 2009.
Ronaldo has denied the allegations in an Instagram live video, calling it “fake news”.
A Las Vegas woman recounted the events that took place the night Ronaldo allegedly sexually assaulted her when he was on holiday with his brother in-law and cousin.
Kathyrn Mayorga had initially signed a non-disclosure agreement deal following the alleged incident, worth $375,000, which is reportedly what Ronaldo earned per week at Real.
She says Ronaldo met the then 25-year-old Mayorga on a night out before they went up to his penthouse, where he allegedly raped her.
Shocking details about the incident were recounted in all their gory detail in Der Spiegel.
Mayorga says she agreed to kiss a naked Ronaldo after she’d put on clothing he’d given her to change into, but was not comfortable with doing anything else. Ronaldo then allegedly went on to have sex with her against her will.
