Robinho says he had the consent of a young man and complains: “Unfortunately, there is this feminist movement” | Saints

In an interview with UOL, Robinho denied having had sexual relations with the young woman, but that he had her consent until the moment when he would have left the place. Likewise, he stated that he does not remember everything that happened in the early morning of January 22, 2013 and criticized what he calls “lack of context” in extracts of the sentence shown in a report give.

– I didn’t have sex with her, no. We had a relationship between a man and a woman, relationships that men have with women, but they never had sex, no penetration, nothing like that – said the player.

– When I left, the boys stayed there with their consent. So, like this: I’m defending myself. Guys, if they did anything to him, I can’t speak for them. I know what I did to him and with his consent, do you understand? So this is what happened – he added.

Robinho detailed the relationship he had with the young woman:

– A girl approached me, we began to have contact with her consent and mine as well. We stayed there for a few minutes. We touch. So I went home.

– When he approached me, I was not drunk, because he remembers my name, he remembers who I am. The person who drinks does not remember anything. She remembers. The fact that she later went to another club with the boys shows that she was not abused. The person who receives abuse, I never received it and no one in my family, thank God, which is something very serious, she would never leave there to go elsewhere with these same boys.

In a January 2014 conversation recorded with the authorization of the Italian Justice, Robinho told Jairo Chagas, a Brazilian musician who was playing at the disco the night of the incident, that he “tried to have sex” with the young Albanian woman. When challenged for having oral sex, Robinho replied, “This does not mean having sex.”

As the player’s defense had already done throughout Friday, Robinho also contested the translation of extracts from the sentence, which include the exchange of messages between the attacker and friends after the day of the case:

– They translated many things out of context. In fact, that was a long time ago. In WhatsApp conversations we talk, but never with disrespect, about disrespecting women. They said that the men talk to each other, that they had sex with the woman, with her consent, because she wanted to do just that.

– There are things I don’t even remember. I’m sure I never gave him a glass of drink. I can’t vouch for my friends …

In another part of the interview, Robinho criticized the feminist movement:

– Unfortunately, there is this feminist movement. Many women sometimes are not even women, to speak a clear Portuguese. And they oppose things that men …

– I just answered now. I’m not pretty, I’m married to my wife, but if I go out on the street, and the woman says: “Hello, beautiful, rich,” it has a connotation. If I mess with you without respect, it’s totally different.

Robinho also told what he considers to be his mistake in the case:

– The question is: what was the mistake I made? What was the crime that I committed? The mistake was not being faithful to my wife, I did not make any mistake of raping someone, abusing a girl or dating her without her consent.

The decision of the Milan Court of November 2017 is not yet final and has been contested by the defenses of the Santos player and Ricardo Falco, the other Brazilian accused in the crime. His attorneys filed an appeal.

The incident took place in a Milan nightclub called Sio Café in the early morning of January 22, 2013. In addition to Robinho and Falco, it is said that four other Brazilians participated in the act classified by the Milan Prosecutor’s Office as sexual violence. As these four left Italy in the course of the investigation, they are being sued in a separate proceeding, he told the give attorney Jacopo Gnocchi, who represents the victim.

Robinho and Falco were convicted on the basis of article “609 bis” of the Italian penal code, which speaks of the participation of two or more people gathered for an act of sexual violence – forcing someone to have sexual relations because of their “physical or psychic “. .
