Cristiano Ronaldo has had difficult weeks in his personal life, especially after the death of one of the twins he was expecting with his partner, Georgina Rodríguez.
But in the last few hours he has received good news, in a case that takes away his peace: the complaint of alleged sexual abuse against Kathryn Mayorga, in events that occurred in 2009 in Las Vegas (United States), a case that would have ended with the payment of 375,000 euros but that was reopened at the request of the alleged victim, who now claims ´more than a million euros.
Jennifer Dorsey, the federal judge in charge of the case, agreed with the soccer player while ordering the woman’s lawyer, Leslie Mark Stovall, to be punished for “conduct in bad faith” and for using “stolen” documents to guide the investigation. case.
“I believe the continued collection and use of these documents was in bad faith, and simply disqualifying Stovall will not remedy the damage to Ronaldo because the misappropriated documents and their confidential content have been woven into the very fabric of Mayorga’s claims. Harsh sanctions are warranted, ”says the trial ruling.
The trial is not over because Mayorga and his representatives will go before the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. But the precedent could favor Cristiano in the final decision.
