Dimitri Payet charged with ‘psychological violence' against ex who accused him of forcing her to ‘drink own urine'
Prosecutors reverse decision as they now pursue abuse claims against ex-Prem ace FACING TRIAL Dimitri Payet charged with 'psychological violence' against ex who accused him of forcing her to 'drink own urine' FORMER West Ham star Dimitri Payet faces trial after being accused of "sexual, physical and psychological violence" against his ex-girlfriend. Brazilian prosecutors have charged the ex-France midfielder, 38, with abusing 28-year-old lawyer Larissa Ferrari. 3 Dimitri Payet has seen the case against him re-opened Credit: Getty 3 Larissa Ferrari appealed against a decision to drop the matter Credit: Newsflash Payet hit 15 goals in 60 Hammers appearances and was their 2015-16 player of the season. The married dad-of-four joined Brazilian club Vasco da Gama in 2023 and went on to form a relationship with local woman Larissa. Rio de Janeiro prosecutors allege he took advantage of her vulnerability to start the relationship, then caused her "psychological and emotional harm" including being violent. Police initially closed their inquiry but prosecutors reopened the case after an appeal by Larissa and have now pressed charges. Payet has been accused of causing her emotional damage through "hurtful and degrading expressions, humiliation, manipulation and mockery". Larissa made allegations to The Sun on Sunday in April that Payet had forced her to film degrading films, drink her own urine and water from the toilet, and lick the floor. She also claimed she had to take part in a fake wedding and wear a ring to 'prove her love'. Payet is said to have told Brazilian police everything between him and Larissa was consensual. 3 The Brazilian lawyer and the married footballer had a relationship Credit: Newsflash Documents from the country's Public Ministry say the couple met online and shared a mutual interest in sexual relations involving "acts of daringness and violence". The official report stated Larissa suffered depression as a result of Payet's behaviour towards her. Kyle Walker seals Everton deal & Grealish to Napoli, Newcastle & Spurs STILL ON | Transfers Exposed Her lawyers said: "This measure shows that the authorities are aware of the seriousness of the facts. "They are minded to make sure that behaviours that harm women's dignity do not go unpunished - no matter how high-profile the suspect may be." The footballer, whose Vasco contract was torn up earlier this month, could have to pay a huge fine and the costs of Larissa's medical treatment if the accusations against him are found to be true. Payet's lawyer Sheila Lustoza said: "I'm surprised the case has been reopened, as it is based on information that was already out there. "But I am confident that the legal system will recognise my client's innocence." Payet left West Ham for Marseille in a £25million deal in January 2017 after falling out of favour with Hammers fans. The set-piece expert, who has 38 caps, pushed for a transfer after claiming he was homesick.

Chillingly, other children were also bathing in the lake at the time of the attack TASTE FOR BLOOD Girl, 9, attacked by flesh-eating PIRANHAS while paddling in scenic lake with mum as ferocious fish gnaw through bones Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GIRL was attacked by a school of piranha fish just moments after taking a dip in a scenic lake in Brazil. Nine-year-old Yasmin Luis Vieira's foot was mutilated in the savage attack that took place before her mum's eyes.

She said the piranhas pounced on Yasmin within seconds of her feet entering the water. The fish bit off two of her middle toes on her right foot while also injuring her left foot, according to the mum. Gruesome images show victim Yasmin's wounded feet.

We went to the edge so she could put her feet in the water. "I heard her scream, 'Mummy, a piranha got my foot'. "She jumped and got out of the water. When she sat down, I saw that her toes were gone. It was terrifying. "I never imagined a piranha would do that." The mum said plenty of families, along with their children, were bathing in the lake at the time of the attack. She said: 'It's a freely accessible place. There's no fee to enter, but the signage is very poor. 5 The Lago Sul ('South lake') in Caldas Novas is deceptively calm Credit: Newsflash Girl, 10, mauled by next-door neighbour's Chow Chow before dog RETURNED to owners leaving family 'petrified' "The area where everything happened is the same one where visitors have free access to the water. There is no isolation or protective barriers." Paramedics rushed Yasmin to hospital where she was treated for shock and a possible infection and doctors carefully stitched up her mutilated toes. Her mum said: "She was losing a lot of blood. She was taken to the Mother and Child Hospital and treated immediately." Yasmin, said to be in intense pain, will soon have to learn how to walk again. Janaina said: "The pain is constant, she screams a lot. She is sad because she keeps missing something that was ripped from her body. "As a mother, seeing this is devastating. "My emotional state is terrible. She tries to be strong, but she is going through a lot of suffering." Environmental experts are investigating the attack, according to city officials. Around 30 different species of piranha fish are believed to dwell in the lakes and rivers of South America. They are known for their razor-sharp teeth - the word 'piranha' literally translates to 'tooth fish' in Tupí, a language spoken by indigenous Brazilians. Despite their reputation as flesh-eating creatures, piranhas are omnivorous forage fish, meaning they eat most things - from meat, fish and insects to plants. Attacks on humans are rare, with the majority resulting in minor injuries, often to the feet or hands.
