Dani Alves Arrested for Touching Woman's Leg Without Consent in Nightclub

Legendary Barcelona player Dani Alves has been arrested in a nightclub for engaging in sexual acts without a woman's consent.

Local media reports suggest that the Brazilian is likely to face house arrest, although the trial is expected to be lengthy. The police reportedly want to diminish the noise surrounding the incident, yet the defense and the victim have asserted otherwise.

The woman claims that on the night of December 29-30, Alves placed his hand on her leg. This implies that he may either face jail time or be required to pay compensation for the moral damage caused.
