Cristiano Ronaldo's bid to prevent the publication of police files about a sex assault he allegedly committed almost 13 years ago will be heard by a Las Vegas court this week.
Ronaldo, who has been accused by Kathryn Mayorga of raping her in a hotel room in June 2009, is fighting an attempt by a newspaper to be given access to documents held by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The legal team acting on behalf of the Manchester United star argue that much of the information was obtained illegally by the Football Leaks website and is a breach of attorney-client privilege.
