‘She never told me to stop,’ Dani Alves denies nightclub rape

Alves also denied hitting the women and grabbing her hair.

‘I am not that type of man; I am not a violent man,’ Alves said in response to his defence lawyer if he had forced her to have sexual relations.

The alleged victim told state prosecutors that she danced with Alves and willingly entered the bathroom, but that later when she wanted to leave he would not let her.

She said he slapped her, insulted her and forced her to have sexual relations against her will.

‘She never told me to stop. We were both enjoying ourselves,’ Alves said, while repeating that the woman never asked to leave or made any indication that she did not want to have sexual relations with him.

Dani Alves has been in pre-trial detention since January 20, 2023. His bail requests were denied because the judge considered him a flight risk.

Brazil does not extradite its citizens who are condemned in other countries.

He changed his defence during the investigation while in detention, initially denying any sexual contact with her before admitting to consensual sexual encounters.
