When Prostituting Goes Wrong: Ronaldo edition

April 29th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

This is surely to be everywhere today — if it’s not already, haven’t checked really –but everyone’s favorite fat Brazilian soccer and AC Milan star Ronaldo got into a bit of a predicament recently. You see, he was all set for a nice night with a few prostitutes. But then he found out they had penises. WHOOPS.

Nogueira said the altercation began when Ronaldo found out he was dealing with transvestites instead of women. The inspector said Ronaldo admitted he knew they were prostitutes when they met earlier Sunday night but did not realize they were transvestites until they got to the motel.

“He admitted to everything, he wanted to have fun,” Nogueira said. “But he committed no crime at all, it was immoral at best.” Prostitution is not illegal in Brazil.

The AC Milan striker told police he offered to pay the transvestites anyway, but before he left one of them allegedly asked for $30,000 to hide the story from the media.

Nogueira said he believed Ronaldo’s version because the transvestite decided to leave the police station even before being fully questioned by authorities.

This sounds like a gag I’ve seen in movies and TV shows. Except it really happened. To a soccer player. Awesome. And, you know, Ronaldo handled this rather well. I mean, not only is this kind of stuff legal in Brazil, but I’m sure these transvestites were at least 18-years-old. Maybe even in their twenties.
