'She filmed my son!' - Neymar's father labels rape accuser as extortionist

After the release of a case report filed by a woman accusing Neymar of rape, Neymar’s father made a statement on the case again.

In an interview with the program "Aqui na Band", he said that his son was the victim of an extortion attempt.

According to father Neymar, there was no violation of the law in the disclosure of the images.  It turned out that the post was deleted by Instagram.

“Imagine leaving such an accusation, seeing your son be called a rapist."  So the decision to have Neymar expose himself. We preserved the image of the girl, the name, we did the possible. But it was a defense. We do not commit the crime.

“We had no choice. I prefer an internet crime than rape. It was a defense and he needed to defend himself quickly. Better be true and show what really happened.

“She wanted him to go to the hotel again. He went and stayed 10 minutes on the second day. He saw the cell phone standing on the wall carrying it. But he realized that she was filming. She sent a message saying she has this video.”

“She attacks him, he throws himself to the bed and tries to calm her down. Ask her not to create confusion. He calms her, leaves the hotel and sends the return ticket.

“Neymar also tried to film, recording the conversation. But he failed. He puts his cell phone in his pocket and couldn’t.  There he saw that it could be a trap.  After this second meeting they didn’t talk anymore.  She even sent threatening messages later.”

Neymar's father said he expects his son to have a "good head" for the Copa America. Commenting on the events before the record of Friday's report, he said there was a meeting between the two parties' lawyers

“They asked for the girl to shut her mouth, the words were those words. The contact was through a friend.  He sent me a message about the case and then I got the message from the lawyer asking for a meeting.  I was not, I sent two lawyers and one witness. 

“Even so he tried extortion. He said it was money, he spoke about the size of Neymar's image. We said we would not accept that. 

“He (lawyer) left the case, said the girl was crazy, who tried to dissuade her from carrying this forward.  I already wanted to get out the front, publicize the extortion before her report.  But they told me to let her act, that she might not have the courage.”
