Cristiano Ronaldo will be compensated. According to what was reported by The Athletic, the shooter of al nasser He will receive 300,000 euros from Kathryn Mayorga’s lawyer, Leslie Mark Stovall, a figure corresponding to the fees he had to pay to defend himself against the accusation of rape. The case was archived in 2019.
It’s a new chapter in a haunting story CR7 since 2009. That year, the same year in which he was transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid, in exchange for 94 million euros, It was during this that the American model accused the footballer of having sexually assaulted her in a hotel in Las Vegas.
While on vacation that season, the Portuguese traveled to the city from the United States. The striker was staying at the Palms Casino Resort and it was common to see him hanging out in certain bars during the afternoons on his days off. There he coincided with Mayorga. Specifically in the Rain nightclub, where the woman worked. When the complaint was made public, German newspaper Der Spiegel published several photos of the attacker with the model.
After a party there, Ronaldo and Mayorga went to the resort where the striker was staying. There would have occurred the events for which the Bug was accused at the time. In the first place, Christian and his lawyers offered him an amicable settlement. $375,000 in exchange for silence. In this offer, it was specified that it was not an admission of guilt on the part of the one who shone at Real Madrid at that time. The deal was accepted for “fear of reprisals against his family”, as the model would later declare.
However, in 2018 she wanted to rescind the offer, accusing that at the time she was “mentally incompetent”. With the Juventus player, now he was asking for $25 million in compensation. Cristiano Ronaldo refused and assured that what happened at the hotel was a consensual act.
Thus, the Metropolitan Police Department of Las Vegas opened a criminal investigation at the request of Mayorga. But in July 2019, the county attorney’s office announced it would not bring criminal charges against the Lusitano because the allegations could not be proven.
At that time, the aggressor publicly evoked for the first time the accusation which weighed on his face. “I strongly deny what is being said. Rape is a heinous crime that goes against everything I am and believe in,” he said. .
Eventually, the case was dismissed, but the chain of events continued. In 2021, Kathryn Mayorga, claimed 65 million euros from the footballer, in compensation for his past of “pain and suffering”. This situation also did not reach the port sought by the accuser.
However, fourteen years after the charges against CR7, the complainant’s lawyer was notified that she had to pay the Portuguese striker. It was an American judge who ordered Leslie Stovall to hand over the money to Ronaldo, to reimburse him for the legal fees he spent defending himself against the charge.
