According to a police report filed in Sao Paolo, Brazil, the Brazilian woman alleges that the footballer suggested that they meet in Paris, and he provided her with an air ticket and a reservation at a hotel in the French capital.
The report accuses Neymar of getting drunk, becoming aggressive and forcing himself on the woman on 15 May.
The allegations continue to state that the woman returned to Brazil two days later “emotionally shaken and afraid to register the facts in another country.”
In a statement released after the accusations went public, Neymar’s management said: “We completely repudiate the unjust accusations and, above all, the exposure in the press of an extremely negative situation.”
The footballer’s father, Neymar dos Santos, said in a television interview that “it is clear that it was a trap”.
“If public opinion is not cleared up, and if we can’t show the truth rapidly, this will snowball. If we have to show Neymar’s WhatsApps and the conversations with this girl, we will,” he added.
Neymar – who currently plays for French giants Paris Saint-Germain – was stripped of the captaincy of the Brazil national team ahead of the Copa América. Which will be hosted by his country.
The tournament will be played between 14 June and 7 July 2019.
