MANAGUA (Reuters) - Nicaraguan former world champion boxer Ricardo Mayorga
was arrested on Friday after a young woman accused him of raping her in a
Managua hotel, police said.
The arrest, which police commissioner Jose Orozco said would be followed by
formal charges, could throw into question Mayorga's scheduled fight with
fellow former champion Felix "Tito" Trinidad in New York on October 2.
Mayorga was arrested in Managua's international airport two days after a
22-year-old woman went to the authorities to complain that the boxer had
forced himself on her in a hotel after she refused his advances.
Rape can be punished with sentences of between 15 and 20 years in Nicaragua.
The 31-year-old Mayorga, a former welterweight and middleweight champion who
has a large fan base in Latin America, has been plagued by legal wrangles
and has been trying to rebuild his career after losing his welterweight
championship in December to American Corey Spinks.
