Last night, Raul Asencio (22) received very bad news before the kick-off of the Liga match between Real Madrid and Mallorca (2-1). Embarked in a case of distributing pornographic content including a minor, the Merengue was officially charged by the number 3 instruction court of San Bartolomé de Tirajana (and its former teammates Andrés García, Ferrán Ruiz and Juan Rodríguez) for having recorded sexual images of two women, including a minor, and having disseminated them without their consent.
Justice said that the investigation into this case has made it possible to collect indices relating to the discovery of secrets without consent and violation of privacy (article 197.1 of the penal code), distribution and sending to third parties without warning or consent of victims (article 197.3), and solicitation or use of minors for pornographic purposes and possession of childish pornography (article 189, 1 and 5 of the penal code). Faced with the media excitement, Raul Asencio wanted to react for the first time by publishing a press release relayed by the Spanish press.
Raul Asencio defends himself
“Following the clarification issued today by the president of the investigative court n ° 3 of San Bartolomé de Tirajana – in which the accusation act initially issued is rectified, expressly excluding me both from the registration of sexual content videos as of the events which have been the subject of this registration – and taking into account the public dissemination of information relating to this procedure, I want to declare the following:
1. I did not participate in any behavior affecting the sexual freedom of a woman, and even less of a minor. This is confirmed by the aforementioned court, which did not attribute me to have had sex with the two women involved, or to have recorded them, with or without their consent. Likewise, the court order specifies that it was not I who sent to third parties images or videos with intimate content which, I repeat, were recorded in a place other than that where I was.
2. The judicial order, as far as I am concerned, limits its content to the possible momentary visualization of images by a third party, without attributing any participation in their registration or their dissemination.
3. The accusation made against me, as the court decision expressly indicates, is strictly provisional in nature. Consequently, the presumption of innocence must continue to prevail. In the event that expenses are ultimately retained and where an oral trial is opened, I will continue to defend myself before the courts and courts, in whom I have all confident, reaffirming that I am not guilty of any criminal act. All this without prejudice to the greatest respect that I have for the progress of the legal proceedings as a whole, including with regard to other persons being the subject of an investigation.
4. I want to reaffirm, once again, my absolute respect for rights to sexual freedom and privacy of all women. ”
