Spanish football is shaken as Real Madrid’s Raul Asencio is set to face trial in a disturbing case involving explicit content and a minor.
The High Court of Gran Canaria has ruled that defender Raul Asencio must stand trial following an investigation into the alleged sharing of a sexually explicit video involving a 16-year-old girl. The footage, reportedly filmed without consent in 2023, also features another woman.
Key Details:
- Asencio and three ex-teammates are facing charges related to child pornography, invasion of privacy, and illegal possession of explicit material.
- While Asencio is not accused of recording the video, he allegedly requested and shared it via WhatsApp.
- The other defendants — Ferran Ruiz (currently at Girona), Andres Garcia, and Juan Rodriguez — are believed to have filmed the video.
- The victims are reportedly suffering from psychological trauma, and the case has sparked widespread outrage across Spain.
- If found guilty, Asencio could receive a prison sentence ranging from 1 to 5 years, with harsher penalties possible for the others.
Despite the seriousness of the accusations, Asencio remains active on the pitch for Real Madrid and has not publicly addressed the matter, choosing instead to post only team-related updates. The club has yet to release an official statement, but public calls for clarity and accountability continue to rise
