LAS VEGAS (AP) A Nevada woman has lost her bid in a U.S. court to force international soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo to pay millions of dollars more than the $375,000 in hush money she received after she claimed he raped her in Las Vegas in 2009.

A judge in Las Vegas kicked the case out of court late Friday to punish the womans attorney for bad-faith conduct and the use of stolen confidential documents.

Attorneys for both sides didnt immediately respond Saturday to messages.

Ronaldos legal team doesnt dispute the two had sex, but maintain it was consensual and the confidentiality agreement prevents both sides from talking about it.
