Cristiano Ronaldo’s lawyer has responded to Las Vegas police after they issued a warrant for the Juventus forward’s DNA. “It is not very surprising.”
Las Vegas police issued a warrant on Thursday to obtain Ronaldo’s DNA to see if it matched that found on the dress of his rape accuser Kathryn Mayorga.
In response to the development, Peter Christiansen told the Telegraph: “Mr Ronaldo has always maintained, as he does today, that what happened in Las Vegas in 2009 was consensual in nature, so it is not very surprising that DNA would be present, nor that the police would make this very standard request as part of their investigation.”
The Portuguese rejected the claims made by Ms Mayorga to Der Spiegel back in September and quickly threatened legal action.
According to the German magazine, Mayorga filed a report with Las Vegas police shortly after the alleged incident at a hotel penthouse suite in the city in 2009.
The 34-year-old then reached an out-of-court settlement with Ronaldo in 2010, receiving $375,000 (£288,000) to never go public with the allegations, but her lawyers believe the non-disclosure agreement is void.
Nevada police reopened its investigation into the former model and school teacher’s accusations back in October, which Ronaldo denies and for which he has never been charged.
Peter Christiansen, one of the No 7’s lawyers, hit back that the legal documents published by Der Spiegel relating to the rape allegations were ‘altered and/or completely fabricated’.

God, knows what happened that day, she made herself available to him, seduced him the entire night at the dance floor, went with him to his hotel room, knowing that he was already horny and wanted to sleep with her, what was she expecting to do in cristiano's hotel room, to read the bible ?,play fifa ? etc, this lady is not as innocent as she claims, she knew what she was doing, Ronaldo let himself be carried away like any man would and is now caught up in a dangerous game, so if she wants justice, why did she accept the first NDA payment ?,i have a feeling someone is behind this, there's a group of powerful enemies who want to destroy ronaldo

I always thought celebrities or models throw away their stuff after wearing it one time. I live in a poor third world country, and I would've already gotten rid of something I wore 3 years ago. I'm trying to understand how an American model kept her dress for 10 years. A souvenir of Ronaldo perhaps 😂 I smell bullshit.

I hate it how people are taking sides in this case because they support Ronaldo, we weren't there and none of us know what transpired. We shouldn't judge or insult any party. Rape is a serious case no matter who is involved. For me, I think Ronaldo forced her to have sex without her approval which should be termed as rape, but i also think the Lady wanted it but she saw the opportunity to make money off him considering how it happened. Ronaldo paid her first settlement and now she want more, possibly Ronaldo refused to pay more and she started all this. Being a Star Ronaldo should have been more careful in such things, he has been an a**hole when it comes to women and i pray this doesn't hook him so bad.

CR7 the way we know him, our answers will be like no he can't do such a thing. But we only know him on tv and not his personal life. But in this world anything can happen. So to side I will say I hope it's not true, but again when heard that CR7 himself admitted that they did have sex but it was rape. Then I wonder could this lady be saying the truth? As men we all know how weak we are when it comes to sex. CR7 am not that much a fan of yours I hope this rape things is not true and that you will overcome this situation. But again it's true then you deserve the punishment cause you have committed a crime. I wish you all the best with this case and hopefully you will not be of it. from a LFC fan. YNWA
