Cristiano Ronaldo Will Not Face Criminal Charges in Las Vegas Rape Case

Cristiano Ronaldo will not face criminal charges stemming from rape allegations in 2009, prosecutors announced on Monday.

According to a news release from the Clark County District Attorney's office in Las Vegas, authorities have declined to bring the charges against Ronaldo due to insufficient evidence.

"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 Clark County District Attorney’s office said in a statement. "Therefore, no charges will be forthcoming."

Ronaldo was accused of raping a woman in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009.
