The woman accusing Cristiano Ronaldo has shifted her venue from Nevada to federal court.

Several news media outlets reported early Wednesday that the charges filed by Kathryn Mayorga, who alleges that Ronaldo raped her in 2009, had been "quietly dropped," implying that the case was over.

The change, however, is due to the difficulty lawyers have had in serving Ronaldo with notice of the state lawsuit.

"The charges were not dropped," attorney Kathryn Drohobyczer told ESPN. "The state case was dismissed by us because we filed the identical claims in federal court due to federal court's rules on serving foreigners. We basically just switched venues but the claims remain."
