Cristiano Ronaldo's lawyer has claimed that documents in which the footballer reportedly admits to raping an American woman are "pure inventions", fabricated as part of an "intentional defamation campaign" against the Portuguese player.
Peter Christiansen claims that the documents relating to Ronaldo's case had been hacked into, stolen and altered in 2015, as he strongly denied the allegations that his client had raped Kathryn Mayorga, 34, in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009.
According to documents which were apparently produced by Ronaldo's lawyers after the alleged incident, he claimed that Mayorga had "made herself available" and admitted that she repeatedly told him to stop.
