The rape lawsuit filed against football star Cristiano Ronaldo in the United States has been quietly dropped by the accuser.
According to Bloomberg, a notice of voluntary dismissal was reportedly filed in last month in a Nevada State Court in Las Vegas, but the reasons for it are not clear as at this time as the filing does not say whether a settlement was reached with the Portuguese superstar regarding the rape case.
In September 2018, Kathryn Mayorga, now 34, claimed the Juventus player had attacked her in the penthouse of a Las Vegas hotel in 2009 when she was 25 and was paid $375,000 in hush money.
She said she was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement by Ronaldo's lawyers at the time, but reopened the case and filed charges in Las Vegas, demanding $200,000 in damages.
However, Ronaldo denied the allegations on social media, and said that whatever happened between the two was based on agreement.
With a notice of voluntary dismissal filed by Mayorga's lawyers, the case is now closed.
