RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazilian coach Tite on Monday declined to pass judgement on the rape accusation made against the national soccer side's star Neymar, whose denial of the incendiary allegations have landed him in fresh legal trouble.
A woman accused Neymar of raping her at a Paris hotel last month, according to a police report seen by Reuters on Saturday.
"I do not want to pre-judge, and I prefer to leave the matter to responsible people," he said at a news conference ahead of the upcoming Copa America tournament."We do not yet have the facts clarified and time will give those answers. Sao Paulo state's public security ministry released a statement confirming the accusation had been made, and said the investigation was still sealed, without giving further details.
