Prosecutors are demanding a four-year prison sentence for Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio over his s£x scandal case.

Asencio is accused of sharing a video involving the girl, who was 16 at the time it was filmed, and doing so knowing she did not give her permission for it to be taken. He insists he is innocent.

The centre-back has a rising status in the game and started both Champions League semi-final legs against Arsenal after becoming a first-team regular this season.

The video was allegedly filmed by former youth team-mates Ferran Ruiz, 22, Andres Garcia, 22, and Juan Rodriguez, 23, in June 2023, involving the girl and another who was 18 at the time.

Those three are accused of ‘disclosure of secrets without consent, and violation of privacy, distributing and sending videos to third parties without consent, capturing and using minors for porn0graphic purposes and possession of child pornography’. 

Asencio and the three other players were arrested at Real Madrid’s training centre in September 2023 following a complaint lodged by the mother of the 16-year-old girl who appears in the video.

Now AS reports that Asensio – who is charged with ‘revealing secrets in conjunction with another of child porn0graphy’ – could face four years behind bars if he is found guilty.

Cadena Cope add that the alleged victim’s lawyers want £48,900 in compensation for her and a £16.86 fine per day for 10 months – a request the 18-year-old will also make, the outlet adds. 

At the time, Spanish media reported that one of the footballers had recorded a consensual s£xual encounter with the young girl before sending the video to the other players without her consent.

According to the court ruling, both women show symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder, Spanish sports outlet AS reported.

The judge at the Gran Canaria High Court said there was enough evidence to support allegations of violation of privacy, distribution of videos to third parties without the victims’ knowledge or consent, solicitation of a minor for porn0graphic purposes, and possession of child porn0graphy.

Article 197 of Spain’s Criminal Code states that any individual convicted of recording and sharing an explicit video of a minor will face between three-and-a-half and five years in prison.
