Neymar rape accuser Najila Trindade, boyfriend charged with extortion, fraud

There are reports that the Brazilian model who accused football star Neymar of rape has been charged with fraud and extortion.

Najila Trindade filed a rape complaint with Sao Paulo police upon her return from a trip to Paris in May in which she said she was assaulted by the Paris St-Germain star following a pre-arranged meeting.

A judge dismissed the case in August, citing insufficient evidence.

After the news, Neymar said : ‘I’ll be sincere and I’m not going to say I’m happy, but yes, relieved.’ in an Instagram post.

But on Tuesday, Sao Paulo police said they indicted the model for procedural fraud, slanderous denunciation and extortion, report the Daily Mail.

Her former partner Estivens Alves is also accused of disclosing erotic content, which was then published online.

A final decision on whether to prosecute Trindade will be left to a judge.

Neymar always vehemently denied allegations he raped Brazilian Najila Trindade, who cited as evidence a video of her confronting the star after the attack.

Prosecutors officially closed the investigation against Neymar earlier this month, citing a lack of evidence against him.

Neymar said he would ‘never forget’ this incident due to the ‘PAIN it caused me, my family and the people who really know me.’
