MADRID — What began as a night of private intimacy has erupted into one of the most talked-about legal scandals in Spanish football. Prosecutors are demanding up to four and a half years in prison for three former teammates of Real Madrid Castilla, and two and a half years for current Real Madrid striker Raúl Asencio, over an incident involving sex, smartphones, and a breach of consent.
The incident took place in 2020 during a stay in the Canary Islands. According to official reports, three players engaged in allegedly consensual sexual encounters with two women in a private hotel room. But what followed turned the story into a legal nightmare: the acts were secretly recorded and shared without the women’s consent.
Raúl Asencio was not involved in the sexual act itself, nor in the recording — but reportedly asked to see the video, showed it to a friend, and later deleted it. That alone, prosecutors argue, warrants criminal prosecution.
“Simply requesting or showing illicit content, even without creating it, can carry serious legal consequences,” stated a legal source cited by Cadena SER.
⚖️ Careers on the Brink
For the three former players, the charges could result in 4.5 years behind bars — likely a career-ending sentence. As for Asencio, a player whose future with Real Madrid seemed bright, the shadow of a prison sentence now hangs over him.
🎥 Consent, Privacy, and the Football Culture
This case touches a deeper nerve. It is not the sexual activity itself that’s under scrutiny — but the blatant disregard for privacy and consent. The video was never authorized, and its circulation violated the dignity of the two young women involved.
“This isn’t just a football issue,” said a women’s rights lawyer. “This is about basic human decency and the right to privacy.”
🧨 Another Case in a Troubled Pattern?
Spanish football is no stranger to controversy. From the Dani Alves trial to the Luis Rubiales kiss scandal, the sport is wrestling with a crisis of image and accountability. This latest case only adds fuel to the fire.
🚨 A Verdict That Could Reshape Lives
A ruling is expected soon. And if found guilty, Asencio’s rise to football stardom may come to a crashing halt. For now, the young striker has remained silent, as Real Madrid and Spanish football brace for another storm.
