足坛大鳄变"性虐恶魔"？75岁的英国著名体育经纪人乔纳森·巴内特被爆惊天丑闻！一位化名"简·多伊"的女性在美国法院提起诉讼，指控这位曾代理贝尔、格拉利什等球星的业界大佬，在6年间对她实施39次强奸，还强迫她喝尿吃屎、称其为主人。最讽刺的是，这位2019年被《福布斯》评为"全球最具影响力体育经纪人"的大佬，现在可能要跟监狱的铁栏杆"亲密接触"了！

体育经纪人乔纳森·巴内特在美国被控强奸
High-profile British sports agent Jonathan Barnett has been accused of raping a woman more than 39 times, in a US lawsuit.
美国一起诉讼指控英国知名体育经纪人乔纳森·巴内特对一名女性实施39次强奸。
The 75-year-old known for representing leading footballers including Gareth Bale and Jack Grealish, says the charges"have no basis in reality and are untrue".
这位75岁的经纪人曾代理加雷斯·贝尔和杰克·格拉利什等顶级足球运动员，他称这些指控"毫无事实依据且不属实"。
In a civil complaint lodged at a US district court in Los Angeles, the unnamed woman, referred to as"Jane Doe", says Mr Barnett"trafficked" her from Australia to the UK in 2017,"tortured" and kept her as a"sex slave" over a six year period.
在洛杉矶美国地方法院提交的民事诉状中，这位化名"简·多伊"的女性称，巴内特2017年将她从澳大利亚"贩运"至英国，在6年期间"折磨"并把她当作"性奴"。
She says Mr Barnett made"repeated threats to her life and the lives of her minor children".
她表示巴内特"多次威胁她和未成年子女的生命"。
"We will vigorously defend this lawsuit through the appropriate legal process. I am looking forward to being entirely vindicated and exonerated," a statement from his lawyers said.
他的律师发表声明称："我们将通过适当的法律程序积极应诉。我期待能完全证明清白并获得免责。"
Mr Barnett was ranked as the world's most powerful sports agent in 2019 by Forbes magazine.
巴内特2019年被《福布斯》杂志评为全球最具影响力的体育经纪人。
He co-founded London-based sports agency Stellar Group in 1994, eventually selling it to Hollywood talent agency ICM Partners in 2020. ICM was later bought by larger rival CAA in a deal that merged two of the world's biggest agencies.
他1994年共同创立总部位于伦敦的Stellar Group体育经纪公司，最终于2020年将其出售给好莱坞人才经纪公司ICM Partners。ICM后来被更大的竞争对手CAA收购，合并了全球两大经纪公司。
The civil case against Mr Barnett, filed on Wednesday, uses the name CAA Stellar throughout to refer to his sports agency.
周三提交的针对巴内特的民事诉讼中，自始至终用CAA Stellar指代他的体育经纪公司。
According to court documents, the pair first met in the 1990s through a professional athlete in London and reconnected online and then in person in 2017.
法庭文件显示，两人1990年代通过伦敦一名职业运动员首次相识，2017年通过网络重新联系并见面。
Within a matter of weeks she relocated to the UK with her teenage children - with sports agency CAA Stellar, headed by Mr Barnett, covering moving expenses.
几周内，她与十几岁的孩子搬到英国——由巴内特领导的CAA Stellar体育经纪公司支付搬家费用。
The filing says that upon her arrival, he told her he"owned" her and raped her in a hotel room.
诉状称，她抵达后，巴内特告诉她他"拥有"她，并在酒店房间强奸了她。
Mr Barnett went on to impose strict rules to obey him at all times, referring to him as"My Master" and to"never say it hurts", according to the lawsuit.
诉讼称，巴内特随后制定严格规定要求她随时服从，称他为"我的主人"，并"永远不能说疼"。
The complaint goes on to describe alleged degrading acts that included drinking urine or ingesting faeces.
诉状继续描述据称的侮辱行为，包括喝尿或吃粪便。
The alleged torture also included the woman"tied up overnight without food or water".
据称的折磨还包括这名女性"被捆绑整夜，不给食物和水"。
She says she was"trafficked, threatened, tortured, and held" in bondage in different locations throughout the world, including Los Angeles, from 2017 to 2023.
她表示2017年至2023年期间，她在洛杉矶等世界各地被"贩运、威胁、折磨和拘禁"。
"Realising she was powerless against a dangerous predator, Ms Doe submitted to Barnett in order to avoid being severely beaten or even killed," the lawsuit said.
诉讼称："多伊女士意识到自己无力对抗危险的捕食者，于是屈服于巴内特，以避免遭到毒打甚至杀害。"
