    Ronaldo rape allegation

    Why would you reach an out of court settlement, and non-profit disclosure agreement, if you're innocent?

    After seeing what false rape allegations have done to peoples life’s before, who knows?

    The settlement is nothing to him maybe he thought it was worth it instead of the guilty until proven innocent and even then still a bit guilty attitude of rape allegations.

    I'm sure it was worth it as that amount is not even like 1p to most folk.

    This is the first thing I thought. I get that in an ideal world you wouldn’t want the whole thing going on at all but he’s maybe just thought it would be easier and less damaging than going through a court case and still being Ronaldo the rapist afterwards no matter the outcome (which to loads of people he would be). Graham Stack used to get called a beast everywhere he went and was also innocent (or possibly not proven?)

    Serious question and not meant to be defamatory in any way, but has it ever been established that he actually likes women? If not it will be one hell of a defence.

    Soooo he does like women or he doesn't? Haha.

    I genuinely hope it's all false though. Yeah he comes across as an arrogant bell. But he's a joy to watch and he does so much work for charities that people just seem to forget or gloss over.

    Oh god, of course! I'm not saying charity work should change anything. I just hope this all comes out to be nonsense.

    Most of his charity work is for Oxfam.

    It always amazes me that people share their private fantasies on a public forum. Unless it's some kind of humiliation fetush, or something.

    Must admit I've often had the same question in mind. Just always thought he's gay, not that it matters.

    No mate it means absolutely nothing. However it would make for an interesting defence in court.

    I am no expert on the matter but the tone here isn't the best.

    I think that all of these things should be subject to injunctions until someone is proven guilty, whether that be for rape or for false accusation. It's the public circus surrounding these cases that does as much damage as anything else. That said, it's been very important that a public discussion about the subject has taken place, to change social attitudes.

    I think that rather than use his sexuality as a defence, he would rather spend the money to keep it quiet. As has already been said, he can afford it.

    Because you are rich and can afford to, and maybe, just maybe, you know that you met and slept with this woman and maybe, just maybe, you know that your actions that day/night could very well be interpreted as "rape", so best to pay her off to drop charges against you and hopefully stop potentially damaging news being broadcast to the world.


    Only Ronaldo and the woman concerned really know what exchange took place between them.
    Only he knows exactly why he decided to pay her off.

    I seem to remember he went to court on a rape charge when he was at Man Utd but was found not guilty.

    Rape allegations ruin lives. For a week's wages (that he clearly doesn't need), why wouldn't he.

    Rape ruins lives as well.

    Nothing in her story sounds unbelievable and more women are coming forward now because they finally have a voice, regardless of any settlement it should be investigated, at the very least other women should be aware that he doesn't take no for an answer.

    Horrible subject. Rape and false rape allegations should both carry the highest sentence posible. From what i've seen Ronaldo seems a decent family man. Not that that's stopped others i guess.

    I’m not sure about him being a decent family man. Maybe now but the circumstances surrounding his son’s birth and custody are a bit weird. Somebody made a comparison to Michael Jackson about settling out of court. The situation with his son is a bit Michael Jackson/Debbie Rowe-esque.

    I’m not guessing either way. He’s certainly entitled to the presumption of innocence.

    However, you surely can’t take anything to do with ‘CR7’ at face value. He’s one of the most marketed individuals in the world and employs a small army of people to manage his public image.

    I’m not sure any of us know what he is really like - probably the most accurate guide is his behaviour on the pitch, because there is no real hiding place there.

    im pretty sure it was investigated at the time as she reported it to the police, the money given to her was so it wasnt reported to the press

    Allegedly doesn’t take no for an answer.

    From the outside looking in, we’ve got a woman who was happy to settle for money rather than justice. Nine years later she’s back to the papers selling her story for more money again rather than seeking justice. Doesn’t give her a lot of credibility IMO.
