Soccer star Neymar has responded to a woman's allegation he raped her in Paris by issuing social media posts meant to show the accuser sent friendly messages following the alleged attack, and police turned up at a training session on Sunday to investigate.
According to a Brazilian police report obtained Saturday by The Associated Press, the Brazilian woman, who was not identified, told officers the incident took place May 15 at 8:20 p.m. at the Sofitel Paris Arc De Triomphe hotel. The woman went to police in Sao Paulo on Friday. She said she left Paris two days later and said she did not file her complaint in Paris because she was shaken."There was a relationship between a man and a woman between four walls. On the next day nothing happened," the striker said."I hope investigators read the messages and see what happened."
Earlier his father and agent, Neymar da Silva Santos, told Brazil's TV Band that his son had been blackmailed by her lawyer. "I am convinced that the case will be cleared up as quickly as possible. I believe in Neymar's innocence," the Manchester City player said.
