Juventus have been slammed over the club’s alleged directive that Old Lady’s players were ‘forbidden’ to talk about the Cristiano Ronaldo rape case amid reports that United States prosecutors have declared that the Portuguese star will not face criminal charges over the matter.

Kathryn Mayorga, 35, accused the former Real Madrid star he had attacked in her a Sin City suite in 2009.

The footballer had vehemently denied her accusations.

On Monday, the Clark County District Attorney’s Office said it had made a decision not to prosecute as “the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Detailing the case, calling Mayorga ‘V’ prosecutors explained their decision, report the Mirror.

According to her court papers, Mayorga said she went to a nightclub called Rain in the Palms Hotel and was allegedly invited by Ronaldo to go back to his 57th-floor penthouse along with a group of people.

She alleged some of the guests opted to use the hot tub on the suite’s balcony, and the superstar allegedly offered her clothing to wear because she didn’t have a swimsuit.

She said he gave her athletic shorts and a T-shirt and suggested she change in the bathroom.

The ex-model, who is now in hiding after receiving death threats from the footballer’s fans, then claims after asking to leave he sexually assaulted her.

Meanwhile, former player of the club, Petronella Ekroth says being at Juventus was like being ‘in prison’ as her teammates were ‘forbidden’ to talk about the rape case.

Ekroth helped Juve win the women’s Scudetto last season but has since returned to her native Sweden with Djurgardens.

In an interview with Expressen, she hit out at the Bianconeri for silencing her over the allegations of sexual assault levelled at Ronaldo.

“We were forbidden to talk about the case. We stayed silent and we couldn’t mention it. The only thing to do was keep a low profile and work towards the club’s values,” said the defender as cited by Football Italia.

“I kept myself closeted because I felt that my opinions didn’t count. It felt a bit like I was in prison. I really couldn’t do everything I wanted.

“You can show one side of the coin, but there is much more that remains hidden, things that unfortunately can’t be talked about, shown and so on.
