Cristiano Ronaldo tried to prevent the publication of police files relating to a sexual assault case against him, a court will hear next week, according to reports.
The Manchester United and Portugal forward has been accused of raping US citizen Kathryn Mayorga in a hotel room in 2009, weeks before he signed for Real Madrid from United for a then world record transfer fee.
And according to The Mirror, Ronaldo is fighting an attempt to give The New York Times newspaper access to the documents, which are being held by Las Vegas police.
