Payet, however, has denied "physical and psychological violence" in a statement to Brazilian cops, reports local outlet G1, which claims to have seen a document detailing the case.
The footballer admitted to having had a seven-month affair with his accuser after "becoming lonely" while playing for Vasco da Gama in Rio de Janeiro.
Larissa told G1 she suffers from Borderline personality disorder and claims Payet took advantage of her condition.
"Dimitri knew about my passion and psychological problems, using this against me," she is reported to have said by
the Brazilian outlet.

It refers to an incident where Larissa "requested slaps during sexual intercourse" which resulted in marks on her body.
The footballer is also said to have claimed the pair used wooden chairs during sex.
G1 reports Payet alleges he refused Larissa's wish to continue their relationship as he prepares to return to France, which would include him paying her expenses.
Payet has four children with his wife of nearly 20 years, Ludivine, who remained in France after he joined the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club in 2023.
Payet's lawyer Sheila Lustoza told G1: "It is regrettable that confidential records were leaked, but the case reveals with evidence something that is very clear: a woman exercising her freedom and will, as it should be, contrary to what has been publicly narrated up until now.
"The defence is confident that the truth that is proven by documents will demonstrate these facts."
'I only want justice'
Speaking to The Sun previously, Larissa went on to say: 'I not only want justice but to also help other women who are blindly allowing their partners to abuse them.'

Larissa wearing bridal gear for 'ceremony'
The footballer struck up a conversation with Larissa over Instagram last August. She claims that Payet used a fake profile. They then started messaging on WhatsApp.
Larissa, who knew the star was married, initially flew 1,500 miles from her home in the state of Parana to meet him in Rio's Windsor Hotel where his team were staying before a match.
She said: 'He was very sweet and romantic. It was a very intense date and the following day I went to watch him play. He was so attentive and there was lots of hugging and kissing. I thought he seemed like a lovely man.'
As the relationship grew, they started staying together for days at a time.
Larissa said she stopped dating other people and they acted as a 'normal couple'. But in early December Larissa's pal posted on social media a snap of two match tickets Payet had given them.
Larissa claimed Payet became aggressive and screamed at her. She said: 'This was the first time I saw this side of him."
She alleges that sparked off the abuse.
In text messages seen by The Sun, Payet asked for 'humiliating' sexual videos of Larissa. WhatsApp messages also show Payet asking for 'disgusting acts' to prove her love.

Any move would spark controversy also hit the taxpayer with a much higher bill – of £325,000 per year compared to £57,000 in prison - for It comes after we told how Rudakubana - serving at least 52 years - was still allowed canteen treats at Read More on UK News And a source said: 'Rudakubana has had the initial tests to see whether he can be classed as mentally ill and moved to a hospital unit. 'Conversations are happening now about his future, after he was being assessed by therapists, psychologists and other medical experts. 'He is very keen for a move because but others at Belmarsh think he is gaming the system. 'He knows he would be on easy street at any hospital, as opposed to Belmarsh which is one of the toughest prisons in the UK.

'No officer at Belmarsh believes he is mentally ill but he says the right things in meetings.
