Neymar: Brazilian model accusing PSG star of rape testifies to police for second time

The Paris Saint-Germain forward is currently missing the 2019 Copa America for Brazil through injury

A Brazilian model who has accused soccer star Neymar of raping her in a Paris hotel in May has testified to police in Sao Paulo a second time.

Najila Trindade arrived Tuesday at the police station to continue her deposition with a new lawyer, the fourth to represent her since she filed charges against Neymar on May 31. Neymar has denied the allegations and underwent five hours of questioning last week.

Attorney Cosme Araujo said they "want to find the truth."

Speaking of his client's emotional state, he said Trindade "doesn't stop crying."

The AP doesn't name alleged sexual assault victims unless they make their identities public, which Trindade did in interviews with Brazilian television.

Neymar testified to police last week.

The player is also being investigated for publishing images of his accuser on social media without her authorization.

Neymar's Brazil side were held without him on Tuesday in a goalless draw vs Venezuela.

The hosts had three goals disallowed though, with Roberto Firmino, Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho all retrospectively denied.

The Brazilian is also linked with a big-money return to Barcelona this summer, with PSG reportedly prepared to sell the player two years on from his world record £200m transfer.
