Cristiano Ronaldo’s legal team have told the courts they are willing to enter mediation with the former model who alleges he r3ped her in a Las Vegas hotel room. The ex- Manchester United footballer’s attorneys have asked for more time to fight Kathryn Mayorga’s allegations.
They want the case dismissed or for a judge to “compel arbitration” under which it would be dealt with outside court, without a trial.
Proceedings would remain private and be decided by an expert mediator.
Ms Mayorga’s 31-page lawsuit alleges Ronaldo, 34, r3ped her in his suite at Palms Hotel and Casino in June 2009.
After the claims emerged, the £538,000-a-week Juventus and Portugal star said: “I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.”
Video footage showed the pair together at Rain nightclub hours before the alleged assault. But now want to settle out of court.
