A bid by the New York Times to obtain information that Las Vegas police compiled about Cristiano Ronaldo after a Nevada woman claimed in 2018 that the international soccer star raped her in 2009 appears to be on its way from federal to state court.
A federal magistrate is recommending that U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey transfer to a Nevada judge the newspaper’s open-records request for documents that Dorsey has deemed confidential under a hush-money agreement the woman signed more than a decade ago.
Dorsey said more than a year ago the case belonged in private arbitration. She has yet to decide one final question — whether Ronaldo’s accuser, Kathryn Mayorga, lacked the mental capacity in 2010 to sign a secrecy agreement and accept a $375,000 settlement from Ronaldo’s representatives.
