He later said that he had met the woman in the bathroom of the club but that nothing happened.<\/p>\n<p>The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain defender, when shown biological evidence, changed his version of events, saying she had consensually performed oral sex on him.<\/p>\n<p>Last April, after the results of further biological tests, Alves said for the first time that he had sex with the woman, saying that it was consensual and that he had lied to hide his infidelity from his wife.<\/p>\n<p>Alves, 40, has been in preventative prison without bail since his arrest one year ago. His contract with Liga MX club Pumas UNAM, the club he joined after leaving Bar\u00e7a in June 2022, was terminated after he was detained.<\/p>\n<p>He will stand trial February 5-7 at a court in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>State prosecutors are seeking a nine-year prison sentence. The lawyers representing the woman want him to spend 12 years behind bars. They also seek restraining orders for Alves after the jail term and for him to pay damages worth \u20ac150,000 ($163,605) to the woman.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dani Alves \u00a0 Former Brazil international Dani Alves said for the first time that he was drunk on the night he is accused of committing sexual assault, judicial sources have confirmed to news agency EFE.
