Ronaldo gets support from an unlikely source over rape allegations: Rocco Siffredi

Cristiano Ronaldo, having already stolen all the back pages over the summer, is at the centre of another storm as he faces allegations of rape dating back to 2009. They come from a meeting with an American woman, Kathryn Mayorga, in Las Vegas nine years ago. 

Since, Ronaldo has been scolded by plenty of onlookers, particularly on social media, giving Nike - who invest huge money in their athlete - cause to worry. Ronaldo is only the third athlete, after Michael Jordan and LeBron James, to have signed a contract for life with the brand. 

However, Ronaldo can now count on considerable support from adult-film actor, Rocco Siffredi. The Italian icon claims that the former Real Madrid man is 'not that kind of guy'. A big mark of respect. 

"I don't think that Cristiano Ronaldo is a monster who raped someone. I never believe these stories from women who say they were raped by a celebrity, that almost never happens. I don't think Cristiano Ronaldo is that kind of guy," the star of erotic films said to 'La Zanzara', on 'Radio 24'.
