Fabio Paim (38), a former Chelsea player who retired from professional football and transitioned to becoming an adult film actor, has been indicted on charges of raping a female college student.
The UK newspaper "The Sun" reported on the 28th (Korean time) that "Paim was charged with breaking into a female college student's apartment without authorization and raping her."
According to the media, Paim forcibly broke into a residence located in Faro, in the Algarve region of Portugal, on April 20, 2023. He visited the home of a woman he had previously met at a bar, and upon encountering a 20-year-old female roommate as he attempted to enter her room, he grabbed her hair, pushed her against the wall, and raped her. Investigative authorities detected Paim's DNA on the victim's clothing. Paim is scheduled to stand trial on November 18 on charges of rape, property damage, and illegal entry into a residence.
Paim was once a top Portuguese prospect whom Cristiano Ronaldo had praised as possessing superior talent to his own. Upon joining Manchester United in 2003, Ronaldo stated, "If you think I am good, wait until you see Fabio Paim." Paim played 42 matches for the Portugal youth national team and, at the age of 13, received a weekly wage of 4,400 pounds (approximately 78.2 billion won) and an annual bonus of 130,000 pounds (approximately 230 million won). However, he was never selected for the senior national team.
In August 2008, during the tenure of manager Luiz Felipe Scolari, Paim was loaned to Chelsea under the direction of agent Jorge Mendes. However, after spending four months solely in the minor league, he was loaned back to Rio Ave in Portugal. In a 2017 interview, Paim revealed the cause of his downfall, stating, "I was frustrated by not being able to play in the first division. The more free time I had, the more foolish things I did."


This is not the first time he has been involved in criminal activity. Born to parents of Angolan descent, Paim was also accused of rape twice during his active playing career, in 2012 and 2015. In the second incident, Paim claimed that the woman had falsely accused him for financial gain.
Additionally, although he received a finding of no guilt after being investigated for involvement in a heroin trafficking organization, he was sentenced to a suspended prison term just one year later for a separate drug trafficking case.
After his suspended sentence ended, he stated that he had "paid the price for his mistakes" and also made headlines by officially debuting as an adult film actor in 2024. At the time, he expressed his feelings by saying, "Having sex and getting paid is a good thing. I have talent for this work." A female actress who appeared with him also praised him highly, stating, "It turns out he was a lion. He is good at football and good as an adult actor."
