Breaking news: Cristiano Ronaldo arrested and being investigated by police for assault case ,story explained in details .

 

Police in Las Vegas investigating soccer

 superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for a 2009

 rape allegation requested a warrant to 

arrest him, but the local district attorney

 declined to pursue the case, according

 to newly uncovered documents.

Kathryn Mayorga has accused the

 Manchester United and Portugal forward 

of raping her in a Las Vegas hotel room 

in 2009.

Ronaldo, 37, has vehemently denied

 Mayorga's claims, saying that 'rape 

is an abominable crime that goes against

 everything I am and believe in.'

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police 

Department investigated Mayorga's 

accusations, and an officer submitted 

an affidavit requesting that a warrant be 

issued for Ronaldo's arrest for a sexual

 assault.

According to a court transcript from 

a September 2021 hearing, reviewed by 

DailyMail.com and first reported on by 

The Sun, Clark County District Attorney 

Steve Wolfson declined to prosecute,

 even though police 'believed they 

had a case,' Mayorga's attorney, Leslie

 Stovall, told the court.

'What happened is when that was 

submitted to the district attorney's office, 

Mr. Wolfson declined to prosecute,' 

Stovall said during the September 17 

hearing.

'He doesn't say why he decided to 

decline and anything -- any argument 

is just speculation. It was within the 

statute of limitations.

'The police believed that they had 

a case to prosecute for one count of 

sexual assault and the DA decided not to.'

Mayorga's claims were investigated by 

the police twice - in 2009 and 2018.

 Wolfson reviewed the case again in 

2019 and concluded there was not 

enough evidence to prove the rape 

charge against Ronaldo beyond a 

reasonable doubt.

'Therefore, no charges will be forthcoming

,' Wolfson said in a statement in July 

of that year.

Mayorga accused Ronaldo of raping 

her at the Palms Hotel and Casino 

on June 12, 2009.

Ronaldo has maintained that the 

sexual encounter with Mayorga 

was consensual.

DA Wolfson said in his July 2019 

statement that following the alleged rape

, Mayorga refused to name her attacker

, or tell police where the crime occurred.

'As a result, the police were unable to 

follow investigative protocols for sexual 

assault cases or to conduct any meaningful

 investigation,' the prosecutor stated.

'Without knowing the identity of the 

perpetrator or the location of the crime,

 detectives were unable to search and

 impound vital forensic evidence. In 

addition, video evidence showing 

interactions between the victim and 

perpetrator before and after the 

alleged crime, was lost.

'The criminal investigation was closed.'

According to The Mirror and the German

 publication Der Spiegel, Ronaldo, 

who has raked in more than $1billion 

in career earnings and is the third

 highest paid athlete in the world, according

 to Forbes, reached a civil settlement

 with Mayorga in 2010 for $373,839.

At the height of the #MeToo movement

 in 2018, Mayorga sought to scrap 

the original settlement. She is now 

seeking nearly $76million in damages

 and costs.

Also in 2018, Wolfson said Mayorga

 contacted the Las Vegas police, asked

 to reopen her case from 2009 and 

named Ronaldo as her rapist.

'In spite of the passage of over nine 

years, Metro investigated her allegations,

' Wolfson wrote. A request for prosecution

 was submitted to the DA's Office on 

July 8, 2019.

'Based upon a review of the information 

presented at this time, the allegation 

of sexual assault against Cristian Ronaldo

 cannot be proven beyond a resonable doubt

. Therefore, no charges will be 

forthcoming,' Wolfson stated.

Ronaldo's girlfriend, 26-year-old Spanish

 model Georgina Rodriguez, has stood 

by him over Mayorga's claims. The pair 

were photographed sharing a passionate

 kiss on Valentine's Day.

In recent years, Ronaldo, a father-of-four,

 and his legal team have been waging a 

battle in court to prevent the New York

 Times from publishing police files 

pertaining to the Mayorga case.

The star athlete's lawyers argue that

 the information was obtained illegally by 

the website Football Leaks and was a 

breach of attorney-client privilege.
