Prosecutors have also asked that the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain full-back, who has been held in Spain since his arrest in January, pay his alleged victim 150,000 euros ($163,500), per a copy of his indictment that AFP was able to get on Thursday.
There was no date set for his trial yet. The 40-year-old has maintained that there was consenting sex between him and his accuser.
“I have a very clear conscience about what happened that night in the VIP area of the Sutton nightclub,” he told the Barcelona-based newspaper La Vanguardia in his first interview following his arrest, which was released in June.
What actually happened and what didn’t. Moreover, he added, “I did not force this woman to do anything against our choice.
But before he was arrested and the news spread, Alves originally denied knowing the woman who had filed a police complaint against him on January 2 in a television interview.
Declaring to the Spanish television network Antena 3, “I was dancing and having a good time without invading anyone’s space,”
“I don’t know who this woman is.” How could I be that to a woman? No.
Alves told La Vanguardia that he had originally lied because he was afraid of getting divorced from his wife if he admitted to having an affair.
In their indictment, prosecutors go into considerable detail about what happened inside the exclusive Sutton nightclub.
After they met there, Alves urged the woman to enter a small room that she was surprised to find had a lavatory.
The football guy showed a “violent attitude” towards the woman upon entering, pressuring her to have sex against her choice.
Spain passed a sexual consent law this year that classifies many different acts, such as cyber harassment and rape, as sexual assaults. Penalties differ for each of these offences. In a rape case, the maximum sentence is fifteen years.
Alves was on holiday in Barcelona at the time of the incident, having just returned from representing Brazil at the World Cup in Qatar.
After his arrest, Alves’ Mexican team, Pumas UNAM, sacked him.
42 championships were won by Alves during his illustrious career, which included three Champions Leagues with Barcelona and two Copa Americas with Brazil.
During the World Cup finals in Qatar last year, he created history by being the oldest player to represent Brazil in the top football league.
