BREAKING: Ronaldo Won't Play in Portugal's Next Four Games Amidst Rape Allegations

Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has been in the national spotlight for all the wrong reasons, and as a result, will miss some time on the field.

Ronaldo has been left off the roster for Portugal's next four games, including matches against Poland and Scotland, as he is currently facing rape allegations.

The allegations stem from an incident in Las Vegas back in 2009, in which Kathryn Mayorga claimed Ronaldo sexually assaulted her in a penthouse suite. Mayorga's lawyer, Leslie Stovall, said that his client is still undergoing "active therapy" to emotionally cope from the ordeal.
