Neymar has been accused of raping a woman in Paris last month, according to a Brazilian police document. Meanwhile, the soccer player's father called the incident "a setup" against his son.

According to the document, obtained by ESPN Brasil, the unidentified woman said the assault took place on May 15 at 8:20 p.m. local time in a hotel room. The woman reported it to Sao Paulo police on Friday.

The woman told police that she and the Brazilian star met in France, where Neymar plays for Paris Saint-Germain, after exchanging Instagram messages. She said a representative of his named Gallo bought her tickets to Paris and booked her a hotel room.

She said Neymar arrived "apparently drunk" at the hotel and described to police that they "touched each other, but in a given moment Neymar became aggressive and, with violence, had sexual intercourse against the victim's will."

The report also states the woman left Paris two days later and that she did not file her complaint in Paris because she was shaken.

According to the police document, the woman was to go through medical examinations as part of the investigation.

Neymar's father and agent, Neymar Sr., defended his son Saturday on Brazilian television station Bandeirantes and shared messages between his son and the woman that he said absolves Neymar.

"This is a tough moment. If we can't show the truth quickly it will be a snowball. If we have to show Neymar's WhatsApp messages and the conversations with this lady, we will," he said.

Neymar is in Brazil preparing with the national team for the Copa America, which starts next week.

"I know that my son can be accused of many things, but I know the boy that he is, the man that he is, the son of a father and a mother," Neymar Sr. said. "We will push for justice to be served as quickly as possible."

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
