The same outlet claim the case is based on a document containing Ronaldo's account of what happened on 12th June 2009. In it, the 33-year old is quoted as saying "she said 'no' and 'stop' several times."
Mayorga has spoken publicly for the first time about the alleged encounter with Juventus forward Ronaldo, who was under contract at Real Madrid at the time, saying she was raped by the five-time Ballon d'Or winner after a night spent partying.
She described events following the incident, describing how Ronaldo fell to his knees after the incident and told her he was "99 per cent" a "good guy" let down by the "one per cent".
The player and his legal team are yet to repsond publicly to the accusations.
