Portuguese football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo is probably considered the greatest footballer of the modern-day, alongside Argentina’s Lionel Messi, by the fans. However, besides his prolific footballing and goal-scoring skills, he is also famous for his exotic personal life, which has involved many gorgeous females.

Nevertheless, he was accused of rape by American model Kathryn Mayorga in 2009 in a hotel room. Ronaldo had persistently denied the charges back then by saying, “I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.” Nevertheless, Kathryn is seemingly adamant about making Ronaldo pay.

According to The Mirror, Kathryn has demanded a whopping £56 million from the Portuguese for the trauma she has suffered. The latest court documents reveal that she has requested £18 million for “past pain and suffering”, £18 million for “future pain and suffering” and £18 million for penal costs. Along with £1.4 million of other expenses and £1.1 of legal fees, the total amount equates to £56.5 million, which nearly two years of Ronaldo’s pay at Juventus.

Earlier, in 2010, Kathryn had received £270,000 as a non-disclosure settlement. However, in 2018, Kathryn had filed a new lawsuit in Las Vegas, stating that she was “mentally incapacitated” and had signed for the payment out of coercion.

Besides, her legal team has also registered 60 witnesses for the testification, including Jasmine Lennard, who has claimed that the two were dating each other ten years ago. The signatories also include three cops, along with Andrea Agnelli (Juventus chairman), Jorge Mendes (Ronaldo’s agent) and Andy Quinn (adviser).
