The Buzz | Rape case against Cristiano Ronaldo in US dropped
A rape lawsuit against Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo in the US that made headlines last year has been dropped.
A notice of voluntary dismissal was filed in Nevada state court in Las Vegas. The filing did not say whether the accuser had reached a settlement with the Portuguese soccer player, media reported yesterday.
The New York Times reported in March that Juventus, the Italian league champions, wouldn’t participate in the International Champions Cup in the US this summer to avoid the risk that Ronaldo would be detained by authorities as part of a rape investigation.
Ronaldo publicly denied the allegations and never filed a response to the lawsuit.
A five-time winner of soccer’s most prestigious award, the Ballon d’Or, Ronaldo is also the sport’s most popular player on social media.
