Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio to stand trial in September over alleged minor sex video
A Spanish judge has ordered Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio and three former youth players—Ferran Ruiz, Juan Rodríguez and Andrés García—to appear before the Criminal Court in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in September 2026. Asencio faces two charges: sharing a sex video that includes a minor and distributing the video without consent. The three former academy players are accused of recording and distributing sexual videos involving a minor and another woman, with charges of child‑pornography and privacy violations.
The court rejected all defence motions, including attempts to dismiss the case and to exclude evidence seized from the defendants’ mobile phones, ruling the confiscations lawful. Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of two and a half years for Asencio and four years and seven months for each of the three former players. Although the alleged incident took place in June 2023 at a beach club in Gran Canaria, the victims have withdrawn their complaints but must reaffirm them in court; their forgiveness could influence the judge’s sentencing decision.
