The district attorney in Las Vegas announced Monday that it would not prosecute an allegation of sexual assault made against the soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Based upon a review of the information presented at this time, the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” the district attorney’s office in Clark County, Nev., which contains Las Vegas, said in a statement.
The assault was said to have occurred in a Las Vegas hotel room in June 2009, around the time Ronaldo, a Portuguese wing, was completing a transfer to Real Madrid from Manchester United.
