According to a police report filed in São Paulo, the woman alleges that the attack took place in a hotel in the French capital, where Neymar plays for Paris St-Germain (PSG).
According to police documents, the woman who has not been named got to know Neymar on Instagram and he suggested they meet in Paris. He provided her with an air ticket from Brazil to France and a reservation at the Hotel Sofitel Paris Arc Du Triomphe.
When Neymar came to the hotel on 15 May, he was “apparently drunk,” the woman alleges.
After conversation and embraces, “at some point, Neymar became aggressive, and through violence, engaged in sexual intercourse against the will of the victim,” the police document states.
The woman returned to Brazil two days later, without reporting the alleged incident to French police, because she was “emotionally shaken and afraid to register the facts in another country,” the document continues.
In a statement released after the accusations became public, Neymar’s management says: “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, tells Band TV in Brazil on Saturday 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”.
In a video posted to his IG TV, Neymar shared what he says is an exchange of WhatsApp messages between him and the alleged victim.
Neymar Jr., in his response video, according to Goal.com, said that he and the woman began speaking in March and continued till 15 May, the day of the alleged incident. His messages claim that she invited him back to the hotel on 16 May before returning to Sao Paulo on 17 May and reported the incident on 31 May.
