Court Dismisses Neymar’ Rape Case

A Brazilian judge on Friday dismissed the rape case against footballer Neymar citing insufficient evidence, court sources told AFP.

The decision — the final episode in the rape case against the Brazilian international superstar — comes on the recommendations of prosecutors just over a month after police dropped the case citing lack of evidence.

Neymar vehemently denied allegations he raped a Brazilian woman in a Paris hotel in May.
