(ANSA) - Berlin, October 11 - Der Spiegel, the German
newsweekly that broke the news of US model Kathryn Mayorga's
2009 rape claim against Cristiano Ronaldo, on Thursday said it
had "hundreds of documents" backing up its report.
It said it had "no reason to doubt their authenticity".
On Wednesday the Juve star's lawyer Peter S. Christiansen
said documents in the rape allegation case which were hacked and
distributed by the media this week were "manipulated or
fabricated ex novo".
The Portugal great denies raping Mayorga in 2009.
"The sexual relations between Ronaldo and Mayorga were
"absolutely consensual," the lawyer said, and the
confidentiality agreement that followed does not in any way
imply "an admission of guilt".
