Amidst the drama surrounding football star, Cristiano Ronaldo, the driver who picked up woman accusing the football legend of rape has given his own side of the story
The testimony of the driver, Vince Humphrey who picked the woman from the five-star Sanderson Hotel in Marylebone, London, in October 2005 is in direct contrast to the claims of the young woman
According to him, the woman was ‘giggling’ after leaving the former Real Madrid player’s hotel room and told the chauffeur about Ronaldo’s ‘incredible body’.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo is currently facing allegations of sexual assault from American Kathryn Mayorga who claims he raped her in the penthouse suite of the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas in June 2009
Juventus star Ronaldo has strongly denied the allegations, and posted on Twitter earlier this week in defense of himself.
He wrote:
‘I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.’
When Mr Humphrey told the Sun that when he heard the British woman he picked up in his Mercedes E-class was accusing Ronaldo of rape, he was ‘bewildered.’
Chauffeur Mr Humphrey’s gave a statement to police in 2005 and the CPS later dropped the case against Ronaldo.
The police are now facing pressure to reopen the case in the light of Ms Mayorga’s allegations.
