FILE: Rape lawsuit targeting Ronaldo dropped, says report A rape lawsuit filed in the US against global football star Cristiano Ronaldo is dropped, reports say Wednesday. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was accused by American woman Kathryn Mayorga, who filed a complaint in September 2018 alleging she was sexually assaulted by Ronaldo in 2009 in a Las Vegas hotel. Ronaldo, 34, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player who now plays for Juventus, strongly denied the accusations. A notice of voluntary dismissal was filed last month in Nevada state court in Las Vegas, meaning the rape lawsuit is dropped. FILE IMAGES of Cristiano Ronaldo
