“I know that I am an example, in the pitch and off the pitch.
“I always smile, I play for a fantastic club, have a fantastic family, four kids and I am healthy.
“The rest doesn’t bother me, I am very glad. I have people who take care of my life.”
Interestingly, the ex-model Kathryn Mayorga reportedly accepted a £287,000 payoff from Ronaldo and signed a gagging order following the alleged attack despite reporting to the cops initially.
However, after making a U-turn, she has headed to the court to seek justice and was recently questioned by the police.
“The case has been reopened and our detectives are following up on information being provided by the victim.
“At the time the report was taken, the victim did not provide detectives with the location of the incident or suspect description. A medical exam was conducted,” a statement from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department read in part.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously had reported that the woman at the centre of Cristiano Ronaldo’s forced $exual assault, Kathryn Mayorga, was close to taking her life after the alleged incident, claims her legal representatives on Wednesday, October 4.
According to a UK Sun report, Mayorga’s legal team revealed in a media parley on Wednesday night, she also battled mental and emotional disorder as the “last eight or nine years have been difficult”.
