Rape case involving Ronaldo reopened

Las Vegas police have reopened an investigation into the

claim that

Cristiano Ronaldo raped model in a hotel room.

Kathryn Mayorga, a 34year- old teacher who was an aspiring model at the time of the alleged assault, claims Ronaldo raped her in a bathroom at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in the early hours of June 13, 2009, reported Daily Mail.

Court papers claimed he attacked her even though she was screaming ‘ No, no, no!’

The exManchester United, 33, player spoke out in a video on Instagram just hours after her lawyer filed court documents about the case. Grinning into the camera, he said: ‘ No, no, no, no, no. What they said today? Fake, fake news.’

‘ They want to promote [ themselves by using] my name. It’s normal. They want to be famous to say my name, but it is part of the job. I am a happy man and all good.’

Police announced the case was re- opened on Monday.

The pair had met at Rain nightclub at the Palms, where Ronaldo was staying on holiday. Pictures show Ronaldo and Ms Mayorga together at the club. In one intimate moment he clasps her hand while whispering into her ear.

According to documents filed at Clark County District Court on Friday, the footballer, who now plays for Italian giants Juventus, invited Ms Mayorga and a friend to his penthouse suite ‘ to enjoy the view of the Las Vegas Strip’.

Ms Mayorga claims she refused to get into his hot tub because she did not want to ruin her dress, then Ronaldo offered her some athletic shorts and a T- shirt and pointed her towards a bathroom where she could change. The court documents state that as she was changing, Ronaldo entered the bathroom, exposed himself and asked her to perform a sex act.
