Cristiano Ronaldo will not face criminal charges over an alleged rape at a Las Vegas hotel after prosecutors said his accuser's unwillingness to name an attacker stopped a proper forensic investigation.
Kathryn Mayorga claims that the Juventus star sexually assaulted her in 2009 after they met at the Rain Nightclub in the Palms hotel.
But today it emerged that prosecutors will not file charges against the striker, who was pictured with Ms Mayorga on the evening in question.
Kathryn Mayorga, a teacher (pictured), claimed in a lawsuit that Cristiano Ronaldo raped her in a Vegas penthouse in 2009
'The allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,' they said in a statement. 'Therefore, no charges will be forthcoming.'
The accuser filed a police report describing the alleged attack, but did not name Ronaldo in the original document.
She has since said that the Portugal player invited her up to his hot tub in the penthouse suit at which he was staying.
Ronaldo emphatically denies claims he attacked Kathryn Mayorga at a Las Vegas hotel in 2009
Ms Mayorga initially sued Ronaldo as she alleged that he'd handed her £300,510 ($375,000) to buy her silence.
However, she pursued a criminal case against the star after saying that she wanted the agreement quashed.
She accused Ronaldo of asking to perform a sex act on him, leading her to refuse and say she wanted to leave the hotel.
Mayorga claimed the attack happened in a suite in this hotel in Las Vegas in the summer of 2009 after Ronaldo burst into a bathroom where she was changing into a swimsuit
Ms Mayorga says he pulled her onto a bed and tried to have sex with her as she fought him off, only for him to rape her she screamed 'no, no, no'.
The player denies the allegations and responded to the accusation by saying: 'Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.'
Clark County District Attorney's Office has announced that it won't prosecute the alleged attack, which was reported to police on June 13 in 2009.
They told TMZ that officers who attended the hotel on that day could not 'conduct any meaningful investigation' because the woman refused to identify an attacker and would not say where she had been assaulted.
'Without knowing the identity of the perpetrator or the location of the crime, detectives were unable to search for and impound vital forensic evidence,' the prosecutors said.
'In addition, video evidence, showing interactions between the victim and perpetrator before and after the alleged crime, was lost. The criminal investigation was closed.'
The prosecution team maintains that a a civil settlement was reached in 2010 and nothing more was reported to police until August 2018.
Ms Mayorga named the former Manchester United player and asked for the investigation to be reopened.
