Cristiano Ronaldo to be served summons to face rape allegations

Juventus superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, is set to be summoned to face rape allegations after lawyers for his accuser, Kathryn Mayorga, tracked down his address in Italy.

Ronaldo has emphatically denied claims he attacked Mayorga at a Las Vegas hotel 10 years ago.

US police reopened the case in October and Mayorga’s lawyers have been hunting for the footballer’s address since then.

According to the UK Mirror, Ronaldo’s home address in Turin has been found, after searching through property records held by Italy’s Central Authority.

Now Mayorga’s team have asked the official process servers to deliver the summons and complaint.

The document is expected to be sent in the next couple of weeks once it has been translated.

A US judge last month allowed more time to track down the 34-year-old’s address in order to start court proceedings.

Mayorga claims Ronaldo raped her in his luxury suite, before paying her £295,000 in ‘hush money’, which she accepted because she ‘felt intimidated’.
