Lawyers: Ronaldo Accuser Suffers From Depression

Lawyers for a Nevada woman who has accused Cristiano Ronaldo of raping her say a psychiatrist determined she suffers post-traumatic stress and depression because of the alleged 2009 attack in Las Vegas.

Kathryn Mayorga's attorney, Leslie Stovall, told reporters Wednesday that the psychiatrist's medical opinion is that Mayorga's psychological injuries made her "incompetent" to legally reach a non-disclosure settlement with Ronaldo's representatives in 2010.

Mayorga filed a lawsuit last week in state court seeking to void the agreement she signed while accepting $375,000 to keep quiet about the alleged encounter.

Ronaldo has denied the accusations of rape against him, saying Wednesday on Twitter that he had a "clear conscience" as he awaits the conclusions of an investigation.

Las Vegas police say they've reopened their investigation of a sexual assault complaint that Mayorga filed nine years ago.
