Public prosecutor wants Real Madrid's Raul Asencio jailed for two-and-a-half years for allegedly sharing child sex tape

The Suna day ago
A PUBLIC prosecutor wants Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio jailed for two-and-a-half years, according to reports.
Asencio, 22, is alleged to have shared a sex tape involving a minor.

In February it was revealed that Asencio would stand trial in the Canary Islands after being accused of disseminating images and a video of a minor and another girl.
According to The Athletic, Spain's Public Prosecutor's Office has alleged that two former Real Madrid academy players, not Asencio, had consensual sex with the two girls, including the minor.
They are accused of photographing the incident without the minor, and another involved girl's, consent.
Asencio is then alleged to have asked to be sent videos of the incident, before then showing them to someone else.
This would mean that he committed two breaches of Article 77 of the Spanish Criminal Code, relating to privacy, if guilty.
The Spain international is one of four Real Madrid academy products involved in the ongoing case, but the only one still at the club.
Ferran Ruiz has since moved to Girona, while Juan Rodriguez, and Andres Garcia have signed for teams in the Spanish lower leagues.
The Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office has called for all four players to be jailed.
Both girls are claimed to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
They are said to want Asencio to pay them each €5,000 (£4,350) for his alleged role in their ordeals.
Earlier this year, Asencio released a statement strongly denying any wrongdoing.
It began: "I have not participated in any behaviour that violates the sexual freedom of any woman, much less minors."
Asencio also said the "presumption of innocence must continue to prevail."
He added: "Should charges ultimately be filed and a trial commence, I will continue to defend myself before the Courts and Tribunals, in which I have full confidence, reaffirming my innocence of any criminal conduct.
"All of this is without prejudice to the utmost respect for the conduct of the judicial proceedings as a whole, including those of the other persons under investigation.
"I want to reiterate, once again, my absolute respect for the rights to sexual freedom and privacy of all women."
Allegations made against Asencio did not stop him from being selected by Real Madrid last season.
Having made his senior debut last November, Asencio was a regular throughout the rest of the campaign under Carlo Ancelotti.
He also featured in four of Real Madrid's six Club World Cup games under Ancelotti's successor Xabi Alonso.
In addition to making 46 senior appearances for Real to date, Asencio received his first Spain call up in March, although he did not get on from the bench to earn his maiden cap.

‘Things in the background are not great': Lewis Hamilton fuels Ferrari split talk

Lewis Hamilton has hinted at problems behind the scenes at Ferrari, 24 hours after calling himself 'absolutely useless' and suggesting that his team should sack him. On Saturday, Hamilton watched his team-mate Charles Leclerc take pole position as he slumped to 12th. On Sunday, he finished the Hungarian Grand Prix exactly where he started and said his mindset had not changed from the day before. Hamilton joined Ferrari with the hopes of winning a record eighth world drivers' title. But Ferrari have trailed well behind pace-setters McLaren and Hamilton is being comfortably beaten by his team-mate. His comments on Sunday evening suggest that all is not well at Maranello. 'When you have a feeling, you have a feeling. There's a lot going on in the background that is not great,' he told Sky Sports F1 after finishing the race a lap down from the McLarens. Lewis Hamilton doubles down on 'change the driver' Ferrari comment 😔 — Sky Sports F1 (@SkySportsF1) August 3, 2025 His struggles at the Hungaroring come off the back of a troubled weekend in Belgium, where he qualified 16th and 18th for the sprint race and grand prix respectively. In Budapest he watched his team-mate take pole position whilst he was eliminated in Q2. Fourteen rounds into his first season at Ferrari he trails Leclerc 109 points to 151. The Monegasque has taken five podiums but Hamilton none. Hamilton's demeanour after the race was of a man who looked desperate to embrace time away from F1, with nearly a month off until racing resumes at Zandvoort. 'I'm glad it's over. I'm looking forward to going away,' Hamilton added. When pressed on whether he would 'definitely' be back for the next race in the Netherlands, he said: 'I look forward to coming back… Hopefully I will be back, yeah.' The signs of an unhappy driver were there from early on this week. In Thursday's press conference with the written media, Hamilton was word-shy, as he sometimes is. That theme continued throughout the weekend, evidently worsened by the effects of two dreadful races in a row. It is possible that Hamilton has hit the lowest point of a staggeringly successful career. In the race, there was also an incident when Max Verstappen overtook Hamilton as his Ferrari went off the track. It was referred to the stewards, but the seven-time champion said he 'did not really remember' the battle with his old adversary, who also had a Sunday to forget and finished ninth. SO close as Lewis and Max battle it out 😳⚔️ — Sky Sports F1 (@SkySportsF1) August 3, 2025 Leclerc shared his team-mate's dejection after a chassis problem meant he slipped from leading the race to finish a distant fourth. This problem, he said, made the car 'undriveable' in what he called a 'disaster' of a second stint. 'I'm still very disappointed. We had one opportunity to win a race this year, which was this race – the first stint was perfect, the first laps of the second stint was really good as well,' he said after the race. Ferrari have yet to win a grand prix this year, but their performances – or Leclerc's at least – have been improved since they brought in an upgraded rear suspension at Spa. When it was put to Leclerc that there might be other chances for victory in the remaining 10 rounds, he was pessimistic. 'I am not sure, I don't think so. I think they [McLaren] are the strongest team out there. What gave me hope of winning was that we were starting first and in the dirty air they were struggling to get past. 'I don't think we are going into the second half of the season thinking that we can win anywhere and that is what makes the frustration even bigger. We knew that this was one opportunity probably over the season and we had to take it.' Verstappen, meanwhile, was another driver with reason to embrace the summer break. He started eighth and finished ninth behind even the Racing Bulls car of Liam Lawson. 'The whole weekend we were just really slow, we just struggled a lot for grip in low speed and medium speed. Whatever we would have done, we would have struggled anyway,' he said. He still sits third in the table but the best he can hope for now is the odd race win. On the Hamilton incident, Verstappen was surprised that it went to the stewards. 'The thing is that nothing happened, we didn't even touch. For me it's a bit difficult to understand why we had the investigation after the race.'
