Neymar Accused of Rape - See Details

An unnamed woman approached police in Sao Paulo on Friday and accused Neymar Junior, the Brazillian superstar player of raping her at an upscale hotel in Paris on May 15. 

The two met on Instagram at least as early as mid-March and exchanged messages both there, and on the messaging app WhatsApp, according to a copy of a police document obtained by The Associated Press. A representative of Neymar bought her plane tickets to Paris and booked her a room at an upscale hotel in the city.

On the night of the incident, the woman says Neymar showed up drunk and “became aggressive,” forcing her to have sexual intercourse against her will. Per the filing, she didn’t immediately approach French police because was both traumatized by what had happened and unsure about reporting it in a foreign country.

She returned Brazil two days later, where she waited until Friday to speak with the police because she was afraid of public backlash, she said. 

Police confirmed to the Brazilian website UOL that a complaint has been filed, but wouldn’t elaborate because the investigation is confidential.
