Lawyers for Cristiano Ronaldo rape accuser Kathryn Mayorga say they are looking into THREE further claims against Juventus star
LAWYERS for Cristiano Ronaldo’s alleged rape victim have told The Sun they are probing three more claims surrounding the footie star.
One woman is said to claim she was raped by the £100million forward after a party.
Another accuser says she was “hurt by Ronaldo” and a third is reported to have entered into a non-disclosure agreement with the footballer in 2009, like model Kathryn Mayorga.
Leslie Stovall, representing Las Vegas-based Ms Mayorga, said: “I am following up to verify this information.”
It is unclear whether the second and third women are claiming sexual misconduct by Juventus ace Ronaldo, 33, who has denied Ms Mayorga’s claim.
It has also been previously claimed the footballer paid Italian belly dancer Karima El Mahroug €4,000 to sleep with her when she was 17. It is not known if she is one of the new accusers.
Ronaldo scored for his Italian side on his return to football on Saturday night, after denying Ms Mayorga’s rape claims.
The teacher, 34, says the ex-Manchester United forward sexually assaulted her at the Palms Casino Resort in June 2009, while he celebrated his big money move to Real Madrid.
He used a team of fixers – agents, lawyers and private investigators – to thrash out a £287,000 settlement with Ms Mayorga in 2010.
But she now claims she only signed because she was “terrified of retaliation” from the player and her lawyers are now suing Ronaldo.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has also re-opened its investigation into the alleged rape.
Ms Mayorga has fled Las Vegas and gone into hiding since the story broke.
Ronaldo firmly denies claims of sexual misconduct and is being backed by his club Juventus – who put out a statement in support of their star signing.
Belly dancer Karima, nicknamed the Ruby Heartstealer, told Italian prosecutors Ronaldo paid her €4,000 in a Milan hotel in January 2010 – when she was aged 17. In Italy the age of consent is 14 but paying an under-18 for sex is illegal.
No criminal charges were ever made against Ronaldo who strongly denied the allegations at the time.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo has also received the support of his family.
Mum Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro posted a picture of them on Instagram before the game, with the caption: “Good luck son and for your team because together we are stronger.”

His sister Kate Aveiro put a Bible quote on Instagram which said: “God will repay every man according to his manner.
“He will give eternal life to those who persist in doing good, seek glory, honor, and immortality.
“But there will be anger and indignation for those who are selfish, who reject the truth and follow injustice.”
