LAS VEGAS (AP) — Attorneys for a Nevada woman accusing Cristiano Ronaldo of rape say the soccer star's legal team should turn over evidence about the origin of documents cited in European media reports about the case.
A Thursday email statement from attorneys Leslie Stovall and Larissa Drohobyczer challenges Ronaldo's Las Vegas lawyer to prove his claim that documents were altered, fabricated or inaccurate.
Ronaldo's attorney, Peter S. Christiansen, said Wednesday the 2009 encounter at a Las Vegas hotel suite became public because documents were stolen by a hacker in Europe and put up for sale.
Stovall and Drohobyczer filed a lawsuit in September in Nevada state court on behalf of the woman.
It seeks money from Ronaldo and to void a non-disclosure agreement the woman signed when she accepted $375,000 in 2010 to keep quiet.
Las Vegas police say they've reopened a sexual assault investigation.
