Dani Alves will be accused of raping and slapping victim in Barcelona nightclub

Spanish prosecutors will accuse Dani Alves of slapping his alleged victim round the face before raping her at his trial.

They will also claim the footballer left his female accuser feeling 'anguish and terror' after locking her inside a Barcelona nightclub toilet, groping her and trying to make her to perform a sex act on him before consummating the rape without putting on a condom.

Prosecutors laid out their case against the Brazil international as they said they were seeking a nine-year prison sentence and ten year probation period on conviction.

They said they also wanted the 40-year-old dad-of-two to pay £130,000 in compensation to his victim if he is found guilty.

No trial date has yet been set but it is expected to take place early next year, with three professional judges set to rule on the footballer's fate instead of a jury.

Alves, who has admitted to cheating on his model wife Joana Sanz by having sex with his female accuser but insists it was consensual, has been held on remand in prison since his arrest in January.

The seven-page pre-trial indictment released this week detailed the full prosecution claims against Alves and included a blow-by-blow account of the state prosecution version of the events leading up to the alleged rape at Sutton nightclub late last December.

It confirmed Spanish state prosecutors will allege at trial Alves hit his 23-year-old female accuser round the face as well as raping her despite her pleas to be let out of the toilet and her clear attempts to stop the footballer abusing her. Court officials had previously referred to the incident generically as a 'sexual assault' without going in any detail about the alleged crime.
