Portugal's star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has accused an American woman of rape. According to the woman, Ronaldo raped her in the year 2009. A German magazine Der Spiegel recently printed the victim's statement. Ronaldo's lawyers have described these allegations as baseless.

Lawyers say that they will sue the magazine for printing baseless allegations. This rape took place in a hotel room in Las Vegas in 2009. The magazine has printed this statement from the lawyer of 34-year-old victim Catherine Mayorga. Further, in the magazine, it has been told that the Mayorga and Ronaldo resolved the issue just outside the court. For this, Ronaldo gave him a massive amount of 3.75 million dollars (2.72 crores) and he was promised that he would never talk about it again.

The advocate of the victim told that he had filed a civil complaint to expose the matter while abolishing that agreement. The editor of the magazine has reported that before writing this report, he wrote Ronaldo and his management several times, but he did not get any answers.
