Breaking news: as cristiano arrested by police officers , he police detectives reveals what Greenwood told them about him and reasons for his arrest explained in details .

 

CRISTIANO Ronaldo's lawyers allegedly

 threatened his rape accuser with "public

 exposure" and "humiliation" if she continued

 speaking to police investigating her claim.

Kathryn Mayorga had reported the alleged 

rape in a Las Vegas hotel room to police 

and also sued the Man Utd ace.

But it's alleged that top lawyers representing

 Ronaldo and handling the civil case 

warned her that if she continues to talk 

to the police they wouldn't continue 

settlement and would publicly accuse 

her of extortion.

The bombshell claim was revealed in 

a court transcript unearthed by The Sun.

Mayorga's attorney Leslie Mark Stovall

 told the US District Court in September

 last year that Ronaldo's lawyers had done 

their homework on Mayorga and knew 

she was "vulnerable to a very powerful

 individual and she was frightened of publicity."

Stovall cited emails between Ronaldo's

 lawyers which were exposed by whistleblowing

 website Football Leaks and said they "

worked that angle".

"What they did is they - and you'll see 

it throughout the negotiations - 'Well, 

if you continue to talk to Metro, we're 

not going to continue settlement and 

we are going to publically (sic) accuse 

you of extortion, that you had consensual

 sex and that you're now trying to extort

 money from this famous, well-known

 person.'

"And she was terrified of that. And 

that continued to be repeated and repeated

 and repeated throughout their correspondence

. There was a threat."

Stovall said Mayorga "complied" and 

stopped talking with police, although she 

did cooperate in a later probe.

He said: "You can look at the investigative

 report from Metro and you will see she 

stopped speaking to them early on. Why?

"Because she was threatened with public

 exposure and humiliation by defendant's 

attorneys. And it's documented 

in those e-mails."

Ultimately, Stovall insists, Ronaldo's lawyers

 succeeded in their strategy, managing 

to delay the prosecution.

"When Metro reopened it (in 2019) and

 then decided that they had a case and 

asked the DA to prosecute it, he deferred."

He added: "I can't think of - to me, I 

can't think of a more clearer case of an 

obstruction or a compounding of a crime

 by lawyers and a party."

Last year lawyers for Ronaldo slammed

 Mayorga's attorney, however, claiming

 he obtained stolen documents from a hacker.

They wrote in court papers in June 

that attorneys at the Stovall & Associates

 firm acquired paperwork labeled “attorney

-client communications” through 

Football Leaks.

“Stovall intentionally sought stolen 

documents from an alleged cyber hacker 

and not only used those documents as 

exhibits to public filings in this case, but

 also as support for his request that the

 Las Vegas Metropolitan Police 

Department reopen a decade old investigation

 to prosecute the Defendant,” the

 lawyer wrote.

The superstar striker has fiercely denied

 raping Mayorga at the Palms Hotel 

and Casino on 12 June 2009.

Ron, 37, settled with his accuser in a 

civil case where she accepted a £276,

000 "hush" payment, but she is now 

seeking a further £56million in damages.

Despite the police probe being dropped

, the civil case is still ongoing.

Ronaldo's legal team has always claimed

 that the police investigated the alleged 

rape twice in 2009 and 2018 - and 

found there was no case to answer.

And the star himself denies the allegations

 and maintains he had consensual sex 

with Mayorga.

Reps for Ronaldo declined to comment

 while his lawyers have been approached

 for comment.
