Ronaldo 'can't get away with it again

A MUM whose autistic son was assaulted by Cristiano Ronaldo has implored the footballer not be allowed to "get away with it again".

Sarah Kelly said she did not know how the Manchester United star could sleep at night "knowing the distress he has caused to a young fan".

The Football Association has charged the forward after footage showed him knocking a phone out of 14-year-old Jacob Kelly's hand.

The lad, an Everton fan, was left with a bruised, puffy hand and broken phone.

Mum Sarah, 37, said: "Let's hope he finally gets the right punishment.

"He can't keep getting away with it. His behaviour is unacceptable."

As Ronaldo walked off the pitch following a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park in April, he smashed Jacob’s phone out of his hand in frustration.
