The footballer’s doting mum Dolores Aveiro and sisters Katia and Elma have backed him since it emerged last year he was facing a new US police probe over Kathryn Mayorga’s claims he attacked her at a hotel in the city.
On Tuesday, after prosecutors said her allegations “cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt”, Dolores took to social media to insist she always knew Cristiano had never done anything wrong.
The mum-of-four, who has 1.9 million Instagram followers, posted a picture of her by a pool in a matching leopard-print top and trousers and said: “Face of serenity of someone who knows her children.”
She finished her comment with the hashtags ‘justica’ and ‘familia’ - Portuguese for ‘justice’ and ‘family’.
Cristiano’s sister Elma posted a screengrab of a Portuguese TV news report confirming Cristiano would not face charges alongside the message: “Divine justice takes its time but it never errs.”
Las Vegas police reopened the case last autumn after she claimed Ronaldo paid her £300,000 to buy her silence.
Five-times Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano, 34, always denied the allegations and responded to the new accusation by saying: “Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.”
