Denial: David Beckham, pictured with wife Victoria, has filed a five-page court statement denying claims he slept with prostitute Irma Nicci. Chief among them is his insistence that he was having a late-night massage in his hotel room at the time of the alleged incident.
The former England football captain has submitted a five-page court statement dismissing claims by year-old Bosnia-born Irma Nici that he paid her and a friend in cash for sex. In the signed document, sent to a Californian court this weekend, the year-old rubbished the allegations, saying he never carried around large sums of money. In an article published by U. He has given a detailed account of how he flew into the city at 8.
My security team was with me before, during and after the massage. After the therapist left, I went to sleep. I did not request any member of my management team to provide me with thousands of dollars of cash when I was in New York in August He said at the time he was visiting his father Ted, who was recovering at the London Chest Hospital after a heart attack.
He said he then spent the night at his Hertfordshire home with his security team, something he again suggests is recorded in log books kept by his staff. Nici has further alleged that Beckham called her to arrange a meeting in October when he was in New York and she was in London.
But in his statement, he says his travel itinerary proves he was not in New York at that time. It was sent to Judge Manuel Real at the U. District Court for the Central District of California. Nici has also been served with a writ individually.
