In October 2021, a federal magistrate judge recommended to dismiss the case for Stovall’s conduct. “Stovall’s repeated use of stolen, privileged documents to prosecute this case has every indication of bad-faith conduct,” the judge wrote. They agreed to a settlement in 2010, reportedly for $375,000 (£280,000). At that point, the alleged incident was not public. The case sought to upend a settlement the accuser reached with Ronaldo in 2010, contending she was not of sound mind when signing the deal. In the run-up to filing the complaint, Stovall approached Football Leaks creator, Rui Pinto, and asked for documents related to Ronaldo and the sexual assault accusation, Judge Dorsey wrote. Nothing less than a with-prejudice dismissal will purge the taint that has permeated this case from its very inception and preserve the integrity of the litigation process.”

Stovall "acted in bad faith by asking for, receiving, and using the Football Leaks documents to prosecute Mayorga's case," Albregts wrote. ' He recommended that Dorsey transfer to a state court the newspaper's open-records request for documents. Ronaldo, now 37, is one of the most highly paid and recognizable sports stars in the world. "We have maintained the action was brought in bad faith," the statement said. Stovall maintained that Mayorga didn't break the hush-money settlement.

Stovall did not immediately respond Saturday to telephone and email messages. Dorsey said that tainted the case beyond redemption. He was 24. Text messages to associate Larissa Drohobyczer were not answered. "Harsh sanctions are merited."

Ronaldo's accuser alleged that the soccer star sexually assaulted her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009.

Those allegations stem from the 2017 publication of an article by German news outlet Der Spiegel that detailed the sexual assault allegations and settlement. Ronaldo’s attorney in Las Vegas, Peter Christiansen, addressed the decision to AP, saying, “We have maintained the action was brought in bad faith. But Stovall’s case relied upon “leaked and stolen documents detailing attorney-client discussions between Ronaldo and his lawyers,” according to the Associated Press.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson decided in 2019 not to pursue criminal charges against Ronaldo based on available evidence and the time that had elapsed. Mayorga later claimed that she was discouraged from disclosing details, but the lack of information prevented local police from conducting a more in-depth investigation at the time. As part of the civil case, she needed to prove the non-disclosure agreement no longer applied. "Stovall’s repeated use of stolen, privileged documents to prosecute this case has every indication of bad-faith conduct," the judge added. The documents surfaced through Football Leaks, a soccer version of WikiLeaks that disclosed confidential information and documents. He has maintained that they had consensual sex.

Should a reasonable offer come in for Jones this summer, United would be prepared to part ways with the defender after 11 years. Ronaldo did not get selected, though, as Jones instead opted for two other United greats, Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney, to finish off his line-up. Jones has 12 months left to run on his contract, but United are keen to strengthen at centre-back with Ajax prospect Jurrien Timber at the top of their shopping list in that regard.
