'We are pleased with the Court's detailed review of this matter and its willingness to justly apply the law to the facts and recommend dismissal of the civil case against Mr. Ronaldo, ' said the forward's lawyer Peter S. Christiansen. Ronaldo has always maintained his relations with Mayorga were consensual and a Nevada court has now recommended that the Portuguese's motion for terminating the case be granted. Mayorga's legal team could yet object to the court's recommendation for dismissal. The criminal case in relation to the allegation had already been dismissed by the Las Vegas District Attorney.
