When the inquiry first began, the football player presented conflicting accounts, which he later explained as a result of his wish to keep the adultery from his wife hidden. Although he has since modified his account multiple times, he has consistently said that there was no sexual assault. After originally denying everything, he has now acknowledged that he did engage in sexual activity with his accuser, but claimed everything was done with consent.
His team provided witness accounts and CCTV evidence from the scene, which they believe should refute the rape accusations. If Alves is permitted to wait for trial while under house arrest, he has also said that he is ready to give up his passport and wear a tracking device. All of these tactics failed to persuade the judge, and his most recent appeal was denied.If found guilty, Alves is facing a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in prison.
