Cristiano Ronaldo rape claim case reopened
Kind of felt like this wasn't really a football story but it sounds like he is in big trouble.
Obviously the legal process needs to be followed and the me too campaign has given a lot of women belief that they can come forward against these powerful individuals just look at the stuff going on currently with Brett Kavanuagh in the states or the Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstien stuff from last year.
The magazine reporting the story actually reported it last year but the women involved refuse to comment on it but they're since found further information as part of the football leaks hack where I believe the servers of Ronaldo's agents company were hacked and the information provided to news outlets. Der Spiegel have spent a year going through the documents looking for stories and it would seem a lot of the confidential legal agreements around this case were stolen in the hack.
It's a strange one really as this is a huge story but not a lot of the main stream media are really reporting on it probably because it's not easy to report or discuss it at this point.
