Real Madrid sex scandal: Raul Asencio SPLITS with his lawyer in trial over shocking video of minor allegedly having sex with three team-mates
Raul Asencio has split with his lawyer as the Real Madrid defender fights to prove he is innocent of soliciting a sex video which allegedly included a minor. Asencio, 22, is accused of distributing footage involving a girl, who was 16 at the time it was filmed, and doing so knowing she did not give her permission for it to be taken. The centre-back has a rising status in the game and started both Champions League semi-final legs against Arsenal after becoming a first-team regular this season. The video was allegedly filmed by former youth team-mates Ferran Ruiz, 22, Andres Garcia, 22, and Juan Rodriguez, 23, in June 2023, involving the girl and another who was 18 at the time. The three footballers are accused of 'disclosure of secrets without consent, and violation of privacy, distributing and sending videos to third parties without consent, capturing and using minors for pornographic purposes and possession of child pornography'. Asencio and the three other players were arrested at Real Madrid's training centre in September 2023 following a complaint lodged by the mother of the 16-year-old girl who allegedly appears in the video. Article 197 of Spain's Criminal Code states that any individual convicted of recording and sharing an explicit video of a minor will face between three-and-a-half and five years in prison. This would drop to a two-and-a-half to four-year prison sentence if found guilty of non-consensual recording. If Asencio is culpable of only sharing the video the sentence would be expected to be less severe. Asencio was being representated by Juango Ospina, a high-profile, Harvard-trained lawyer based in Madrid. However, he will now be defended by Alfonso Morales Camprubi who is part of Real Madrid's in-house legal team. Morales Camprubi was part of Real's legal team for the trial that saw three men each receive eight-month prison sentences for making racist remarks and gestures toward Vinícius Jr at a La Liga match against Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium in May 2023. Following his arrest in 2023, Asencio tried to have his part in the case dismissed in February by appealing to end the investigation into his alleged role, however a judge decided to uphold the decision to move ahead with the inquiry. The judge at the Gran Canaria High Court said there was enough evidence to support allegations of violation of privacy, distribution of videos to third parties without the victims' knowledge or consent, solicitation of a minor for pornographic purposes and possession of child pornography. 🚨 COMUNICADO OFICIAL DE ASENCIO 🚨 Quiero reiterar, una vez más, mi absoluto respeto por los derechos a la libertad sexual y a la intimidad de todas las mujeres. ESTAMOS CONTIGO @RaulAsencio7 👏🏻 — REAL MADRID FANS 🤍 (@AdriRM33) May 15, 2025 Last month, Asencio released a length statement maintaining his innocence. 'I have not participated in any behaviour that violates the sexual freedom of any woman, much less minors,' the statement read. 'I would like to reiterate, once again, my absolute respect for the rights to sexual freedom and privacy of all women.'

Raul Asencio accusers want Real Madrid defender jailed for FOUR YEARS over ‘video of minor having sex with team-mates'
THE lawyers representing a girl who has accused Real Madrid centre-back Raul Asencio of sharing a sexual video without consent believe that he should be sentenced to four years in jail. In September 2023, the defender was arrested for allegedly sharing a sexually explicit video involving two women - one of which was 16-years-old. Three Real Madrid reserve team players - Ferran Ruiz, 22, Andres Garcia, 22, and Juan Rodriguez, 23 - were also arrested. The trio reportedly filmed the video, which also involved an 18-year-old. They are being accused of "disclosure of secrets without consent, and violation of privacy, distributing and sending videos to third parties without consent, capturing and using minors for pornographic purposes and possession of child pornography" in the case. Meanwhile, Asencio is charged with "revealing secrets in conjunction with another of child pornography" and could face several years in jail. Spanish outlet AS reports that if found guilty, the 22-year-old could face around four years behind bars. Meanwhile, Cadena Cope says that the alleged victim's lawyers want £48,900 in compensation for her and a £16.86 fine per day for 10 months. The 18-year-old woman also involved is expected to make the same request. Asencio fiercely protested his innocence regarding the ongoing legal case last month. In a lengthy statement on social media, he wrote: "I have not participated in any behaviour that violates the sexual freedom of any woman, much less minors." The defender 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." Asencio also claimed that he was not at the reported location at the time of the June 2023 incident. But despite the judge making it clear that he is not being charged for recording the footage, he remains indicted on charges of sharing it. The initial complaint was filed by the mother of the 16-year-old in the Canary Islands. It was stated that while the sexual activity was consensual, the alleged recording was not. Since breaking into the Real Madrid first team at the start of the season, Asencio has made 42 appearances for Los Blancos.

Real Madrid sex scandal: Lawyers for minor involved in beach club sex video call for FOUR YEARS in prison for star defender Raul Asencio
The lawyers of the girl at the heart of Real Madrid 's sex scandal case are reportedly seeking a four-year prison sentence for defender Raul Asencio. Asencio is accused of sharing a video involving the girl, who was 16 at the time it was filmed, and doing so knowing she did not give her permission for it to be taken. He insists he is innocent. The centre-back has a rising status in the game and started both Champions League semi-final legs against Arsenal after becoming a first-team regular this season. The video was allegedly filmed by former youth team-mates Ferran Ruiz, 22, Andres Garcia, 22, and Juan Rodriguez, 23, in June 2023, involving the girl and another who was 18 at the time. Those three are accused of 'disclosure of secrets without consent, and violation of privacy, distributing and sending videos to third parties without consent, capturing and using minors for pornographic purposes and possession of child pornography'. Asencio and the three other players were arrested at Real Madrid's training centre in September 2023 following a complaint lodged by the mother of the 16-year-old girl who appears in the video. Now AS reports that Asensio - who is charged with 'revealing secrets in conjunction with another of child pornography' - could face four years behind bars if he is found guilty. Cadena Cope add that the alleged victim's lawyers want £48,900 in compensation for her and a £16.86 fine per day for 10 months -a request the 18-year-old will also make, the outlet adds. At the time, Spanish media reported that one of the footballers had recorded a consensual sexual encounter with the young girl before sending the video to the other players without her consent. Asencio has established himself as a first-team regular in his breakthrough season at Madrid. In a statement, he said that documents from a Gran Canaria court indicated his possible involvement was limited 'to the possible momentary viewing of some images by a third party, without attributing any involvement to me in the recording or dissemination'. Fans at various stadiums around Spain have jeered Asencio, with some Barcelona fans chanting 'Asencio, to jail' during the Clasico. Real Madrid's Copa del Rey semi-final win at Real Sociedad in February was briefly paused by the referee after home fans chanted 'Asencio die'. According to the court ruling, both women show symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder, Spanish sports outlet AS reported. The judge at the Gran Canaria High Court said there was enough evidence to support allegations of violation of privacy, distribution of videos to third parties without the victims' knowledge or consent, solicitation of a minor for pornographic purposes and possession of child pornography.

The complainant has stated that the sexual activity was consensual, but the recording of it was not. Following his arrest in 2023, Asencio tried to have his part in the case dismissed in February by appealing to end the investigation into his alleged role, however the judge decided to uphold the decision to move ahead with the inquiry. Asencio has had his breakthrough campaign at Real this season and spoke about the allegations after being called up to the Spain national team for the first time. Last month he told RTVE: 'I think everyone is aware of what they are doing. For that reason, I am very calm. 'So, well, live day by day. In the end, it's a matter of deadlines. I have noticed this change of pressure on the pitches. 'It's logical, with the change of category (after Spain call-up). I'm a person who likes and is motivated by feeling that pressure. Since I was a kid, I'm used to feeling that pressure at Real Madrid. It makes me even more motivated.' He has played 22 games for Carlo Ancelotti's side this season in a disappointing campaign for Los Blancos that looks set to finish without silverware. In February, Asencio went public on his relationship with Spanish influencer Selenia Suarez, who regularly attends the Bernabeu to watch him and is unrelated to the criminal case.

Real Madrid star Raul Asencio breaks silence as he faces trial over ‘video of underage girl having sex with team-mates'
RAUL ASENCIO has fiercely protested his innocence after being accused of distributing a sexual video involving an underage girl. The Real Madrid star is due to stand trial in the Canary Islands and could face five years in prison. Asencio is accused of sharing footage involving three former Madrid reserve players. It is claimed the players involved lied when they told the two girls - allegedly aged 16 and 18 - that the recorded sexual material had been deleted. Ferran Ruiz, 22, Juan Rodriguez, 23, and Andres Garcia, 22, were arrested in September 2023. Asencio's appeal against his inclusion in the upcoming trial was rejected in February. Posting on X, Asencio wrote on Thursday: "I have not participated in any behaviour that violates the sexual freedom of any woman, much less minors." In a lengthy statement, the Los Blancos star 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." Asensio claims the video was recorded "in a location other than where I was". Carlo Ancelotti named Brazil coach as former Chelsea boss makes history after leaving Real Madrid But despite the judge making clear he is not being charged for making the footage, he remains indicted on charges of sharing it. He added: "[The ruling] does not accuse me of having had sexual relations with the two women involved, nor of having recorded them, with or without their consent. "Likewise, the court order clarifies that I was not the one who sent any intimate images or videos to third parties, which, I reiterate, were recorded in a location other than where I was. "The court order, as far as I am concerned, limits its content to the eventual momentary viewing of some images by a third party, without attributing to me any participation in their recording or dissemination." The four Madrid players were arrested after a complaint was filed by the mother of a 16-year-old girl in the Canary Islands. The complainant stated that the sexual activity was consensual, but the alleged recording was not. Asencio, 22, has risen through the ranks at Madrid to become a regular starter this season. The centre-back has made 34 appearances this season across all competitions.

Real Madrid star Raul Asencio breaks silence as he faces criminal trial over shocking video of underage girl allegedly having sex with three team-mates
Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio has broken his silence after being indicted along with three former youth players at the club, for the alleged distribution of a sexual video involving a minor. The 22-year-old football star allegedly solicited a video filmed by team-mates Ferran Ruiz, 22, Andres Garcia, 22, and Juan Rodriguez, 23, in June 2023 which involved a minor and another young girl, aged 16 and 18 respectively at the time. The players are accused of 'disclosure of secrets without consent, and violation of privacy, distributing and sending videos to third parties without consent, capturing and using minors for pornographic purposes and possession of child pornography'. The judge in the case later clarified Asencio has not been charged with recording the video but remains indicted on charges of revealing secrets for showing the video to a third party and of child pornography. Asencio denied the charges in a lengthy released later on Thursday. 'I have not participated in any behaviour that violates the sexual freedom of any woman, much less minors,' he said. Asencio and the three other players were arrested at Real Madrid's training centre in September 2023 following a complaint lodged by the mother of the 16-year-old girl who appears in the video. At the time, Spanish media reported that one of the footballers had recorded a consensual sexual encounter with the young girl before sending the video to the other players without her consent. The Real star's full statement read: 'Following the clarification issued today by the head of the Investigating Court No. 3 of San Bartolomé de Tirajana—in which the initial indictment order was amended, expressly excluding me from both the recording of videos with sexual content and the events that were the subject of said recording—and in view of the public dissemination of information related to said procedure, I wish to state the following: '1. I have not participated in any behavior that violates the sexual freedom of any woman, much less that of minors. 'This is confirmed by the ruling issued by the aforementioned Court, which does not accuse me of having had sexual relations with the two women involved, nor of having recorded them, with or without their consent. Likewise, the court order clarifies that I was not the one who sent any intimate images or videos to third parties, which, I reiterate, were recorded in a location other than where I was. '2. The court order, as far as I am concerned, limits its content to the eventual momentary viewing of some images by a third party, without attributing to me any participation in their recording or dissemination. '3. The charges brought against me, as expressly stated in the court ruling itself, are strictly provisional. Therefore, the presumption of innocence must continue to prevail. 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. '4.
