A Las Vegas woman who is accusing Cristiano Ronaldo of raping her at the Palms Casino Resort almost 12 years ago wants $78 million in damages and other costs from the global soccer icon. That’s according to new documents filed by the lawyers of former model Kathryn Mayorga in a federal courthouse in Nevada this week.

Mayorga sued Ronaldo in 2018, claiming battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, coercion, fraud, and abuse of a vulnerable person. She claims the Portuguese national raped her on the night of July 12, 2009, in the Palms penthouse after the pair had met that evening at the casino’s nightclub.

While testifying on legislation addressing pretrial detention, Kendra Bertschy with the Washoe County Public Defender’s office described a broken aspect of the bail system she said leaves people behind bars even when they haven’t been convicted of a crime.
One client she referenced was a 19-year-old college student with no prior arrest who was accused of a nonviolent offense, though Bertschy didn’t specify the crime.
The client, who was referred to as Sara, was subjected to pretrial risk assessment, a tool courts use to determine a person’s safety risk to the community and likelihood to return to court. The higher score, the higher the estimated risk, and Sara scored a zero since she had no prior arrests and valid contact information.
