Attorney Larissa Drohobyczer, representing Ronaldo's accuser, Kathryn Mayorga, said Friday she was satisfied with U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey's ruling in Las Vegas.Ronaldo's attorneys say their client and Mayorga had consensual sex in June 2009. They deny it was rape. Her lawsuit seeks monetary damages of at least $200,000. It alleges that Ronaldo or people working for him allowed word to become public last year of a hush-money settlement that paid her $375,000.
Ronaldo, from Portugal, is one of the most recognizable and highly paid players in sports. He plays in Italy for the Turin-based soccer club Juventus.
