Báez has not publicly responded to the claims.
The Brazilian influencer claimed her ex-partner kept her locked up for months before she escaped and fled back to her home country.
The model said she first met Baez when she was 18 and described the relationship as a traumatic experience in which she was manipulated, assaulted and kept in isolation.
She claims Baez tied her up with ropes and assaulted her while using boxing gloves, allegedly to avoid visible damage to her face.
She filed a formal complaint with Brazilian cops after she claimed previous attempts to report him in Paraguay failed.
The Brazilian said: “He tied me to a ladder with ropes, assaulted me with boxing gloves, and bit my hand.”
Nebbeling alleged the athlete stomped on her feet and inflicted severe bruising and injuries including to her lips eyes and limbs.
She also claims she suffered sexual abuse while she was unconscious, and said that the footballer controlled her social media.
Shocking images posted online showed Nebbeling scantily clad with visible bruises on her face and body and tied to a staircase which she says was taken during one of the assaults.
She has also published medical reports screenshots and audio files as evidence.
In one post she wrote: “This is me Jannah Nebbeling tied to a staircase, tortured and completely isolated from the world.
“This is what the law calls unlawful deprivation of liberty or rather false imprisonment within a brutal cycle of domestic violence.”
She added: “I want justice. For myself for every silenced woman and for those who are no longer alive to speak.”
The alleged victim also claimed that Baez, who played for teams such as Olimpia Arsenal de Sarandi and Resende, only allowed her to speak to people he approved of.
She said she lived in what she called a “private prison” for a year in Paraguay while being closely monitored.
Nebbeling said she initially tried to report the alleged abuse to a doctor in Paraguay but was advised against doing so.

She was allegedly warned that the footballer could use his money and influence to avoid charges and even turn the situation against her.
The allaged victim said she filed the complaint at the women’s police station in Jacarepagua in Rio de Janeiro.
But she claims her case was first mocked and dismissed before being taken seriously.
Baez, 34, has not made any public comment – but he reportedly told local media he would only respond if formally requested by courts.
Paraguayan authorities have reportedly requested international assistance to clarify the case.
The police probe into the alleged attacks and forced captivity is still ongoing Brazil.
