Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest athlete in the world, if social media is any indicator. His ability to move merchandise is seen by the record number of endorsements he has. He's the man who has it all but there's an apparent darkness inside the man. Ronaldo is alleged to have raped a woman he met in Las Vegas 12 years ago.
