Police in Las Vegas investigating soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for a 2009 rape allegation requested a warrant to arrest him, but the local district attorney declined to pursue the case, according to newly uncovered documents.
Kathryn Mayorga has accused the Manchester United and Portugal forward of raping her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009.
Ronaldo, 37, has vehemently denied Mayorga's claims, saying that 'rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything I am and believe in.'
