at the disco
The events date back to December 30 last year, when the former footballer flew to Barcelona. That day, he called his friend Bruno and they met for dinner. They made a reservation at a restaurant and then went to Sutton nightclub on Tuset Street. They sat at a table in the booth called Moët, which had access to a camera-free ‘suite’, including a large sofa, television and fridge. There is a small bathroom in the corridor connecting one room to another with a staircase and right at the entrance.
The victim entered the nightclub with his cousin and a friend around two o’clock that morning. They went to the central room and then entered the reserved area. A few minutes later, Alves, a regular customer of the nightclub, invited the group to have a drink with them (they were initially rejected). The victim claims he did not know who the defendant was.
Protocol activation
For several minutes, the five danced and talked, but Alves moved closer and closer to the victim and hugged her, according to the charges. Twice he grabbed her hand and rubbed it with his penis, so she quickly pushed her hand away, she says. A few minutes later, the football player went to the door of the corridor connecting to the suite and entered. From there he motioned for the young woman to approach.
He thought this was another VIP area, but the actor took him to the small bathroom and closed the door. Seeing herself in that compartment, the woman asked Alves to take her out, always according to the incriminating thesis. The former football player grabbed her by the waist, made her sit on top of him, threw her to the ground and tried to make her perform oral sex. The woman resisted and slapped him in the face several times. Following this rejection, the athlete lifted her off the floor, bent her over the toilet and sexually assaulted her. After the victim told some employees what happened, the nightclub implemented its sexual assault protocol.
