Real Madrid defender Raul Asensio has been formally charged by Spanish authorities in a case involving the distribution of child pornography on social media, according to local media reports.
The 22-year-old center-back is at risk of a prison sentence following a decision by the Court of Instruction in San Bartolomé de Tirajana to open criminal proceedings against him.
The incident allegedly occurred on June 15, 2023, when Asensio was still part of Real Madrid’s youth academy. He and three teammates are accused of uploading intimate videos of two women, one of whom was a minor at the time.
The victims, aged 16 and 18, are reportedly suffering from post-traumatic symptoms as a result of the incident. The case, widely covered by Marca and Mundo Deportivo, has caused a stir in Spain.
Real Madrid has not yet issued a statement regarding the charges against the young player.
