Five biggest controversies involving Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo has been accused of raping a woman in 2009 in a Las Vegas hotel. The victim named Kathryn Mayorga came forward on Friday and spoke to German publication Der Spiegel. However, lawyers of Ronaldo have stated that they will sue German magazine Der Spiegel, for publishing "blatantly illegal" accusations by Mayorga. Here we look at five controversies involving CR7.
Ronaldo paid $375,000 to Mayorga to remain silent?
Kathryn Mayorga was 25 years old, when she met Cristiano Ronaldo in the VIP section of a Las Vegas nightclub. She told everything via a letter and described the incident. She is also planning to challenge Ronaldo for a legal settlement, which was agreed in 2009. She claimed that CR7 paid her $375,000 to remain silent over the issue.
In 2005 Ronaldo was accused of rape as well
Notably. Ronaldo was arrested and questioned on allegations of rape back in 2005. A woman had alleged that Ronaldo, who was 20 years of age back then, had raped her in a London hotel. He was then let go off by the Scotland Yard as there was insufficient evidence to carry out an investigation against him. He had strongly maintained his innocence throughout.
Mystery: CR7 had children with unknown women
Another controversy surrounding Ronaldo is having children with unknown women. Reports stated that he paid surrogate mothers to have his babies. His first son Cristiano Ronaldo Junior's mother is still unknown. It was also stated that his new born twins were also from a surrogate. The Mirror reported that the twins were born in USA near San Diego.
When Ronaldo cheated on his pregnant girlfriend with a model
Aspiring model Natacha Rodrigues had claimed that she slept with Ronaldo at his place in Madrid when his girlfriend was pregnant during that time. "Now I think he just used me for sex. I don't have regrets because being with him was like a dream come true but I feel betrayed," she told The Sun. She said she was aware of his girlfriend.
Ronaldo was found guilty of evading tax
Spanish court had accused Ronaldo of evading €14.7 million of tax to which the player agreed to, besides accepting a two-year jail term. However he never served any time in prison as the law states that one doesn't have to undergo the same for a first-time offence. This happened after the footballer maintained that his conscience is clear.
