\nPresident Trump says Cristiano Ronaldo has ‘more respect now’ after attending White House dinner<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nBurnett denies the charges but admits paying the woman more than $1 million to keep her quiet.<\/h2>\n
Barnett, 75, denies the charges and admitted in September 2021 to paying the woman to keep quiet after a “consensual personal relationship”, according to the Telegraph.<\/p>\n
\n“When my relationship with the claimant ended, she threatened to make it public. As a result of those threats, I paid the claimant several years worth of payments.”<\/p>\n
Jonathan Barnett<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\nIn the latest court documents filed by his lawyers, the super agent claims he threatened to reveal details unless he was paid.<\/p>\n
“When the relationship with the plaintiff ended, she threatened to make it public. As a result of these threats, I made payments to the plaintiff over a number of years, ultimately paying her well over \u20ac1 million…all payments were made by me in the UK,” Barnett told the court.<\/p>\n
The complainant claims Jonathan Barnett raped her more than 39 times.<\/h2>\n
The plaintiff, identified only as Jane Doe, alleges Barnett kept her as a sex slave for six years and raped her more than 39 times.<\/p>\n
In a civil suit filed in court, the plaintiffs accuse the former officer of transporting her from Australia to the UK in 2017 under false promises of humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n
The woman claims she was deprived of her liberty for six years and subjected to poor conditions, including physical assault, isolation, and deprivation of water, food, and hygiene.<\/p>\n
According to judicial sources, in July 2025, Jonatha Barnett was formally indicted on extremely serious charges including human trafficking, torture, and rape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
