In 2018, the Portuguese forward was accused of having raped a woman by the name of Kathryn Mayorga in Las Vegas in 2009.
The case was taken all the way to federal court, but the matter was thrown out in June this year because of the defence's unethical behaviour in obtaining evidence to support their argument. Now Ronaldo's representatives are requesting that the defence's lawyer, Leslie Mark Stovall, fit the bill for the striker's legal costs, said to be in excess of $626 000 , according to"Given Stovall's abuses and flagrant misconduct, Stovall should be made personally responsible for ensuring Ronaldo is reimbursed for having to defend against his vexatious and bad faith conduct," Ronaldo's lawyer said in the request to US District Judge Jennifer Dorsey.
The 37-year-old's legal team does not dispute that the parties in question had intercourse; rather, they insist that it was consensual.The same report suggests that Ronaldo gave the woman a $375 000 payment to sign a confidentiality agreement and drop a criminal complaint alleging that she was sexually assaulted by the Madeira native.
