Cristiano Ronaldo will NOT face criminal charges over alleged rape at Las Vegas hotel

Cristiano Ronaldo will not face criminal charges over an at a Las Vegas hotel.

Kathryn Mayorga accused the Juventus star of sexually assaulting her in a suite after meeting at a nightclub in 2009.

At the time of the alleged incident, the 35-year-old refused to name her alleged attacker, instead opting to agree on a settlement with Ronaldo for £288,000 in return for not discussing the case.

But in August she approached Vegas police asking for the case to be reopened, this time naming her alleged attacker and providing more details of her claims.

Now prosecutors have decided not to press criminal charges on the footballer because the claims "cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt", according to TMZ .

The former Manchester United forward, 34, firmly denies the allegations made against him.

Ronaldo previously described the ­allegations as “fake news” and described rape as an “abominable crime”.
