Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo will not face charges in an alleged 2009 rape case it was announced on Monday.<\/p><\/div>\n

Cristiano Ronaldo will not be facing any charges related from allegations he raped a woman in Las Vegas over ten years ago. After reviewing investigative material submitted by the Los Angeles police, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson stated there is no evidence that could prove beyond a reasonable doubt any guilt of the claim made by Kathryn Mayorga. Commenting in a statement, Steve Wolfson said,<\/p>\n

“Therefore, no charges will be forthcoming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This decision is seen as a victory for Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>, who as one of the worlds highest paid soccer players, who is also facing civil litigation on the matter. That litigation was filed by Mayorga who claims she faced pressure to sign a non-disclosure agreement for $375,000. Moyorga and her lawyers are seeking the courts to overturn that agreement and award a minimum $200,000 more in damaged.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Ronaldo openly admitted that the star and Kathryn Mayorga had, in June of 2009, consensual sex, but adamantly denied that this was a rape. Neither Ronaldo\u2019s lawyer, Peter Christiansen nor lawyers for Mayorga were available for comment after the statement from Clark County District Attorney<\/a> Steve Wolfson<\/p>\n
