Ex-Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo's legal team has asked a federal court in the US to throw out a civil claim against him seeking damages over an alleged sexual assault. Lawyers for the Portuguese striker claim Kathryn Mayorga's legal team gave 'stolen papers' to police in Las Vegas who were investigating claims. According to legal papers lodged at the United States District Court in the District of Nevada, Ronaldo's lawyers want Ms Mayorga's case dismissed over the conduct of her legal team. His legal team wants the case dismissed and Ms Mayorga's attorneys disqualified. As well as dismissing the case, Ronaldo's legal team wants Stovall and Associates, who represent Ms Mayorga, to be disqualified from the case.
