Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo is finally admitting he paid $375,000 to a rape accuser, acknowledging the hush-money deal with the goal of getting the woman’s latest lawsuit tossed.

German magazine Der Spiegel first discovered the 2010 out-of-court settlement in 2017, but Ronaldo dismissed the woman’s claims and related reporting as “fake news.”

The woman went public and sued in state court in Nevada in 2018 to void the deal. She filed a follow-up lawsuit in federal court last January claiming battery, coercion, abuse of a vulnerable person, racketeering and defamation.

In legal paperwork that surfaced Monday, Ronaldo, 34, publicly confirmed the whopping payment.

“Mr. Ronaldo paid plaintiff the sum of $375,000.00 and both parties agreed to be bound by explicit confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations,” his new Friday filing obtained by the Daily News states.

“Nowhere in the complaint does plaintiff contend she was not paid the full $375,000.00,” the filing says.

The Portuguese player and his lawyers argue the majority of claims from accuser Kathryn Mayorga are unfounded and beyond the statute of limitations — and that her defamation claim should be resolved in private arbitration.

“Mr. Ronaldo should not be forced to defend these stale claims in any forum. The parties should be compelled to arbitrate any claims not subject to dismissal,” his filing states.

Mayorga, a schoolteacher and model from Nevada, says she met the soccer star on June 12, 2009 at the Rain Nightclub inside the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

She says he invited her to join a hot tub party in his penthouse suite, then ambushed her and exposed his erect penis as she was changing. She claims he pulled her into a bedroom, ignored her protests, sodomized her and then apologized.

She reported the incident to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police within hours of the alleged attack.

Mayorga argues in her filing that she attended settlement discussions while experiencing intense psychological trauma from the attack and that she suffered extreme fear of public humiliation and retaliation if she pursued a criminal case.

She further claims Ronaldo and his “team of fixers” had a “confidential source” inside the police department who assured them that cops would “happily” close the investigation if a financial settlement was arranged.

She alleges Ronaldo and his “fixers” knew she was vulnerable and “repeatedly threatened to falsely and publicly accuse (her) of consenting to sexual intercourse” so they could spin her allegations as an extortion plot.

In his new filing, Ronaldo disputed Mayorga’s claims.

“Given the number of times she ‘threatened to walk out,’ plaintiff undoubtedly understood she was free to leave at any time and accordingly, settlement was optional,” his filing states.

“While plaintiff lays blame with the mediator and her lawyer for not recognizing her so-called ‘incompetency,’ she acknowledges that at the time of mediation the parties agreed to resolve their dispute absent litigation,” his paperwork states.

The judge has not yet ruled on his motion for dismissal.

Enough of these rubbish!! He's not the only sick person in Nigeria. I'm begining to think the FG is right to keep him. It seems like his demands are getting too much and it's irritating. It's not like the Shiites even care about Nigerians sef.

Why the post go carry "black MacDonald's staff" why not a "MacDonald's staff" we hate racism but we still show racism behavior amongst ourselves....

A black does not have the capacity to be racist. Historically and Biblically not possible.

kalvoken:
You mean boooohari

Trump.

Maurice Iwuruwuru. Unarguably the worst Electoral Chairman in history of Nigeria.

Trump is doing it for election and outrage. So many mass shootings don happen this year wey he no even go.

No matter the lies, truth will always prevail. Catholic Church covered the truth about sexual abuse for thousand years but truth finally came out.

Well, you are right.

Funmmyastic:
She is cute then but she need to drop all those tomboy stuffs.

She cant. She gay gay.

Hmmmmm. Which money?

Aunty Kem Kem your evidence oo . . Na u talk say make Busola Dakolo bring evidence.

Dem don start again.

weyreypey:
If he's not guilty... The Dakolos should be charged to court and jailed for long time

How? He's still guilty of statutory rape. She was a minor when they had sex even it was not rape.

zoedew:
If his body double so to say, in the person of NFA could garner that much in votes the real deal would have won beyond any contestation. He was a charismatic and generous politician to boot!

Doesnt work that way Bro. It was sympathy votes mostly. He has been trying to be the Governor since 1999 and he's always been coming short. He's popular no doubt but someone like Omishore would have defeated him easily. Nobody knows Demola by the way.

It is fight to finish.

zoedew:
Whose life was a study in waste! He died stoned and awash with alcohol! Whitewashed sepulchre!

I dont know about that....but what i know is that even if he's alive and contested he would not have won. No be today.

blessedweapon:
This Adeleke man cap shaa

That's Serubawon's cap.

Yahaya Bello was never an APC member to begin with. Dino foisted him on the Party because he didnt want Faleke to be the Governor. I'm glad Yahaya really dealt with Dino.

NB; Dino should forget it. He cant be the next Governor. Kogi people will not vote for a Yoruba man. They are like that.

Lie lie. Where are the excess skin?

Oftentimes, we aren't thankful for something until it's gone. Don't take your health for granted.

Is herpes what they all Isinu in yoruba? I want to know because Isinu affects most people whos about to fall sick.

First of all , that's not a bank. They might pretend to be handicapped to thrown fool investigators who will describe them as limping.

I thought her kids are in Yankee? Why cant the 2 of them contribute and be giving her monthly upkeep? Are they not adults?

Tinubu should not even try it. I personally do not want him to contest...but it should not be Ndigbo that will tell not to contest because at the end of the day they got no influence .

......amd she's a member of a church in Nigeria. Churches need to wake up in Nigeria.

MorufuAtanda:
You see.. The guy go school. So why is APC our Muslim party trying to paint a different picture?

Late Senator Isiaka Adeleke the ex Governor was all his life a devout muslim. He is the older brother of Senator Ademola Adeleke. What's your point about muslim?

Stanweezy:
This can only happen in Africa, imagine one single switch controlling the stadium light

That's England bro. No bi everything you take dey bash Africa.

Lmao. Make he no try am o. He wan go expose himself? Wizkid would have made more sense.

Is Peter not married? Lola oo. Seems he has a thing for light skinned older women.

I hope they paid for the bottles of beer before they took the hands off.

okay

beatcoins:
Same way Atiku will present evidence against APC.

Don't you guys have any other things to think about apart from politics?
