On Tuesday it emerged that Mbappé is among the suspects in the rape that took place on October 10 at a hotel in central Stockholm. There, the star striker was resting with his friends. On October 12, the victim contacted the police and reported the crime committed against him.
The news about Mbappé was spread by the Swedish media, but so far there is no data to confirm the Frenchman’s involvement in the incident.
Mbappé is far from the first player accused of such an atrocity. Often these accusations turn out to be just a pretext for blackmail and profit, much less are the girls’ statements confirmed. But it is obvious that footballers are young people who are not averse to having a good time in the company of beautiful ladies, completely not knowing how this may turn out in the future.
Which world football stars have also been accused of rape?
Eduard Streltsov
The star of Torpedo and the USSR national team was sentenced to five years for rape. Although the circumstances of that case raise many doubts. In 1958, Streltsov and footballers Boris Tatushin and Mikhail Ogonkov rested in the company of girls at the dacha. It all ended when Streltsov was charged with a crime and received a prison sentence in the prime of his career. Initially, the court sentenced the footballer to 12 years, but after 5 years he was released on parole.
christian ronaldo
The Portuguese was accused of rape by the American Catherine Mayorga. In 2018, the girl suddenly remembered that nine years earlier, in Las Vegas, Ronaldo took advantage of her vulnerability. The Portuguese defense even paid the “victim” almost 400 thousand dollars, but then she decided again to demand 65 million for the mental suffering she suffered. The court ultimately rejected this claim.
Neymar
The Brazilian was accused of rape by his compatriot, the model Najila Trindade. Furthermore, according to her, everything happened in Paris, when the footballer was still defending the colors of PSG. The footballer’s side immediately accused the girl of wanting to make money.
After considering the case, it was decided that the footballer did not commit this crime.
robinho
This Brazilian was accused of rape twice. In the first case it was not possible to prove his guilt, and in the second, Robinho received 9 years for participating in a gang rape. But the footballer fled to his homeland and Brazil and Italy did not have an extradition agreement.
Benjamin Mendy
The French Manchester City defender spent five months in prison for a rape case. Over time, the number of such episodes increased to eight, but in 2023 a jury acquitted the Frenchman.
