A top female footballer has claimed a married Premier
League player tried to rape her after she passed out
drunk in his hotel room.
Alexandra Nord, who used to be a striker for QPR
Ladies, told how she woke up to find the international
player naked and lying on top of her having removed
her tights and underwear.
Swedish Alexandra, 25, said: “I understood that it was
he who had taken off my clothes. I do not know
exactly how far he had gone.
“The first thing I thought was to get him away.
“My first reaction was anger, then I was ashamed and
thought maybe I had agreed to something?”
Alexandra has posted an account of the sex attack on
her blog.
She joined the #metoo campaign online campaign
which began in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein
Hollywood scandal so victims of sexual attacks or
harassment can tell their stories.
Alexandra, who has not named the footballer, said
that while she could not remember everything that
she had said and done that night she knew she had
not consented to sex.

She added: “ I did not give him ANY right to touch my
body without my permission.
Alexandra said the footballer continued to grope her
even after she made her distress clear.
She said: “I’m angry, sad and ashamed. I gather my
stuff together while the guy pulls me back and I do
not understand why.
“He does not understand that I do not want to be with
him. I say ‘No.’ He can see at that I am upset.
“I feel obliged to stay because he’s going to drive me
because I do not have my jacket (it is about 5
degrees outside) or wallet with me.
“Finally, it does not matter anymore. He has no
respect for me or my body and continues to grope me
until I storm out of the room and down to the lobby.
“It’s maybe 6am. I do not know how to get home. I
have no jacket and do not know how to get a taxi.
“The hotel manager looks at me and knows who I was
there with. He quickly arranges a taxi for me and says
‘It’s on us’.”
Alexandra was 19 at the time of the alleged attack
and had met the footballer in a Mayfair nightclub
popular with footballers and celebrities.
He asked her to go for some food with him to sober
up but took her to a hotel in South Kensington.
"I’m very careful to say ‘I have to get back here
before 3am because my jacket is in the club.’
“He persuaded me to go to a hotel. I say I need my
own room.
“The fact that he checked the room in my name, paid
in cash and then asked his manager to call me is
enough evidence to prove he knew what he was
doing.
“On top of that, I also found out that he had a wife.”
Alexandra said the footballer’s manager even called
her the next day and warned her to keep quiet about
the attack at the hotel.
She has since left QPR and appeared on a reality
show, The Bachelor, back home in Sweden.
She did not report the 2012 attack to police because
she did not feel she had enough evidence or
understanding of a foreign legal system.
