Brazilian soccer star Neymar da Silva Santos Jr. was accused on Friday of raping a woman in Paris last month, Sao Paulo Federal Police told ABC News.
The unidentified woman, who is also from Brazil, filed a complaint against Neymar alleging that the soccer player flew her out to Paris and paid for her hotel room, where he visited her “drunk,” police said.
The woman, who landed in Paris on May 15, alleges that after some flirting, Neymar became aggressive and forced her to have sex with him, according to police. She traveled back to Brazil on May 17, and says that she was too affected to go to the police immediately, police said.
Neymar and the woman met on Instagram, police said.
