The story that Ronaldo had allegedly raped a woman in Las Vegas was originally reported on last year but received little traction, with some sources noting the purported victim's refusal to talk to the press about the matter and Ronaldo's agency's dismissal of the entire claim as fictional.
However, things have now changed. The alleged victim's new attorney has revealed the existence of a non-disclosure agreement and settlement between the victim, Kathryn Mayorga, and Ronaldo which had kept the victim from speaking earlier about the matter, but which the attorney asserts is non-enforceable. Several settlement-related documents signed by both Ronaldo and Mayorga have been given to the press, including (according to Der Spiegel) an interview of Ronaldo conducted by his own attorney in which Ronaldo confirms the pertinent details of the incident, plainly stating that the victim said she didn't want to have sex and repeatedly told him "no" and to stop during the act, but he did it anyway because she "continued to make herself available" and "didn't scream".
