Juventus currently losing 6% stock value after Ronaldo rape allegations

Cristiano Ronaldo is being sued over an alleged rape in a Las Vegas hotel room. The rape victim is Kathryn Mayorga. Kathryn claims that Ronaldo attacked her in the penthouse suite of the Palms Casino Resort. Ronaldo denies the claims made in court documents that emerged on Saturday, branding them as “fake news”. EA Sports have removed the image of Cristiano Ronaldo from their website and social media pages. The Juventus star ’s business appeared to be at risk following the first statement from Nike since the allegations were made. Nike said: ‘We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation.’ The allegations are taking their toll on Juventus as a club too, with the club having lost 6% on the Milan Stock Exchange on Friday morning, after months of the stock rising since Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Turin from Real Madrid in July. Ronaldo has “firmly denied” a rape allegation after Kathryn Mayorga accused the Portuguese of sexual assault in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009. Both Juve and Ronaldo’s international head coach Fernando Santos have offered unwavering support to the 33-year-old.
