Robinho to serve nine years rape sentence.

Former Manchester City and AC Milan player, Robinho, has been ordered to serve a nine-year prison sentence by a court in Brazil. 

He was found guilty of being part of a gang rape of a 22-year-old Albanian woman in 2013 while he was playing for Milan.

Despite claiming that the sexual encounter was consensual, Robinho has been told to serve his sentence in Brazil, where he has been living in retirement. He remains free while his appeal is being considered.

Robinho previously won two Laliga titles with Real Madrid before joining Manchester City and then moving to Italy for five years with Milan.
