Raúl Asencio, a 22-year-old central defender for Real Madrid, has finally spoken out after being charged alongside three teammates for sharing explicit videos of two women, one of whom is underage. The allegations surfaced 24 hours prior, and Asencio used social media to release a statement denying any wrongdoing.
Asencio’s Statement
The young Spanish player’s statement comes as a response to the clarification provided by the chief judge of the Investigative Court No. 3 of San Bartolomé de Tirajana. According to Asencio, the court’s decision confirms he wasn’t involved in recording or sharing the explicit content. The court’s ruling specifically excludes him from being involved in the recording of the videos or having any sexual relations with the women featured in them.
Here are the key points from Asencio’s statement:
- He denies participating in any behavior that threatens the sexual freedom of any woman, especially minors.
- The court’s decision supports his claim, stating he didn’t record or share the explicit content.
- The accusation against him is still provisional, and he maintains his innocence.
- He expresses respect for the rights to sexual freedom and privacy of all women.
Asencio recently made his debut for Real Madrid’s first team in November 2024, following a string of injuries to the team’s defenders. He was called up from the Castilla reserve team by manager Carlo Ancelotti. The court’s decision and Asencio’s statement have brought some clarity to the situation, but the investigation is still ongoing.
