Mayorga free on bail -- accused of having unconsented anal sex
By Mike DeLisa
Notwithstanding other reports, Ricardo Mayorga is not under "house arrest" in Nicaragua. Mayorga has been accused by a 22-year-old of raping her at a Managua Hotel.
Upon returning to Nicaragua following his kayo loss to Tito Trinidad, the local prosecutor revealed the specific charges: On August 31, Mayorga took the girl by force, inserted his penis into her vagina, and afterwards in her anus. These acts occurred in a hotel where both had gone to have sexual relations. The victim, however, contends that she had not agreed to have sexual relations "against nature" (i.e. the anal sex).
Mayorga escaped being sent to jail, althought he court has required him to notify the Court should he need to leave the country for medical treatment or to collect his purse for the Trinidad fight. He also posted a bail of about $9375 dollars. He needs to report to Court every 15 days, stay out of establishments serving alcohol, stay away from crowds, and, above all, make no attempt to see the victim. He is also denied the ability to telephone witnesses.
The next court date is November 25, 2004. This date is also the celebration of the the "International Day against Violence."
