The victim did not believe that Alves had to go to prison

According to the victim's testimony, Alves forced her to sit on her body, slapped her, pushed her to the floor and forced her to have sex - something she actively resisted - in the toilet of the VIP section of the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona in the evening.

On February 13, Ester Garcia - the girl's lawyer in the lawsuit - confirmed that his client was worried about his reputation. "She was so scared. She didn't believe Alves would go to jail. When that happened, she told me 'so they believed me,'" Lopez said.

Lopez said the client is also afraid of being revealed by the media "at some point" and having to receive psychological treatment after the allegation of being raped by Alves. "She is receiving psychological support through a public organization that specializes in treating abuse victims," ​​Lopez continued.

After Alves was arrested for alleged sexual assault, his wife, model Joana Sanz, filed for divorce.
