Raul Asencio, a 22-year-old defender at Real Madrid, is currently facing serious legal charges but denies all allegations against him. He is accused of illegally sharing explicit videos and distributing child pornography.
The case revolves around an incident in summer 2023 involving Asencio and three former Real Madrid academy players—Juan Dominguez, Ferran Ruiz, and Andres Martin—who have since left the club. Investigations suggest they engaged in sexual acts with two girls, aged 16 and 18, and secretly recorded the encounters. Asencio allegedly shared these videos without permission.
According to Spanish media outlet Cadena Cope, the case has moved forward to trial, with both victims pressing charges. The prosecution seeks a four-year prison sentence for Asencio, along with a €58,000 fine to compensate for emotional harm, injuries, and PTSD suffered by the victims.
Despite the serious accusations, Asencio’s legal team remains optimistic about proving his innocence. In May 2025, after a period of silence, Asencio issued an open letter denying the claims and emphasizing the importance of respecting the presumption of innocence.
He stated:
“I want to reaffirm my full respect for the rights to sexual freedom and privacy of all women.”
**Possible Outcomes**
In Spain, prison sentences under two years are often suspended, meaning that if Asencio is sentenced to less than two years, he might avoid jail time unless he reoffends.
**Final Thoughts**
This scandal has shocked many football fans, especially supporters of Real Madrid. As the trial approaches, more details are expected to emerge. For now, Asencio denies all charges while victims and prosecutors pursue justice, with the case attracting close attention from fans, legal experts, and the public.
