'Don't let Cristiano Ronaldo get away with it,' urges mum of autistic boy

A mum whose autistic son was assaulted by Cristiano Ronaldo said the footballer should not be allowed to "get away with it again".

Sarah Kelly said she did not know how the Manchester United star could sleep at night "knowing the distress he has caused to a young fan", reported The Mirror.
