Cristiano Ronaldo Reportedly Served Court Papers in Lawsuit for Alleged Rape

Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was reportedly served with court papers related to a federal lawsuit in the United States for allegedly raping Kathryn Mayorga in 2009 in Las Vegas.

TMZ Sports reported Friday that Mayorga's legal team was able to get the documents to Ronaldo after she dropped the Nevada state lawsuit, which they said hampered the process.

"Ronaldo's legal team has already responded to the lawsuit with court docs of their own in which they ask the judge for permission to file a new 46-page document which will presumably lay out their argument for the court to throw out the case," the TMZ report noted.
