US court to hear arguments over payment in Cristiano Ronaldo rape allegation case

• Lawyers for woman seeking more money over allegations
• Prosecutors declined to file charges over claims of rape

A United States appeals court planned to hear on Wednesday from lawyers trying to revive a woman's bid to force Cristiano Ronaldo to pay millions more than the $375,000 he gave her after she accused him of raping her in Las Vegas in 2009.

An attorney for the woman is asking the court to overturn the dismissal of the case in June 2022 and reopen the civil lawsuit she first filed in Nevada in 2018. Ronaldo has never been charged over the allegations.
