Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.
Cristiano Ronaldo was taken to court for graping. The woman went with him AND other people to his hotel suite after meeting in a nightclub in 2009. She, almost a decade latr, filled a lawsuit against him saying that he had sexually assaulted her in her bedroom (Ronaldo at the time was 24, she was 25). Ronaldo and his lawyers mantained that the act was consensual, later in 2010 he payed her hush money ( $375,000) In dismissing the case in 2023, U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey in Las Vegas took the unusual step of levying a $335,000 fine against the woman's lead lawyer, Stovall, for acting in "bad faith" in filing the case on his client's behalf. Stovall's appeal on Mayorga's behalf, filed in March, calls Dorsey's ruling "a manifest abuse of discretion" and seeks to open the records and revive the case. It alleges Mayorga wasn't bound by the confidentiality agreement because Ronaldo or his associates violated it before a German news outlet, Der Spiegel, published an article in April 2017 titled "Cristiano Ronaldo's Secret" based on documents obtained from what court filings called "whistleblower portal Football Leaks." Ronaldo's lawyers argued — and the judge agreed — the "Football Leaks" documents and the confidentiality agreement are the product of privileged attorney-client discussions, there is no guarantee they are authentic and can't be considered as evidence.
