Real Madrid defender, Raul Asencio has reportedly broken silence to an indictment for allegedly distributing a sexual video involving a minor in June 2023.
Asencio has been under investigation since 2023 for allegedly being involved in the creation and dissemination of a sexual video of a minor.
The 22-year-old Real Madrid defender has been cleared of any involvement in the creation of the alleged video, but a Gran Canaria court has charged him with sharing the video that his Real Madrid youth teammates Ferran Ruiz, Andres Garcia, and Juan Rodriguez made.
Asencio will only face charges of “revealing secrets for showing the video to a third party and of child pornography,” while the other three players have been charged with “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.”

What Did Asencio Say About The Distribution Of Child Sex Video?
On social media platform X, Asencio released a statement which read: “Following the clarification issued today by the head of the Investigating Court No. 3 of San Bartolome 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 behaviour that violates the sexual freedom of any woman, much less that of minors.
“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.
“4. I want to reiterate, once again, my absolute respect for the rights to sexual freedom and privacy of all women.”
