Overview

• The Gran Canaria High Court has formalized criminal proceedings against Raúl Asencio and three former Real Madrid youth teammates, alleging serious privacy and child pornography offenses.
• The charges stem from a June 2023 incident in which a sexual video involving a 16-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman was recorded and shared without consent.
• The defendants were arrested in September 2023 after the 16-year-old victim’s mother filed a complaint, leading to the seizure of their mobile phones.
• In February 2025, the court rejected Asencio’s appeal to dismiss the investigation, allowing the case to proceed to its current stage.
• The Public Prosecutor’s Office now holds the authority to either file indictments and request a trial or decide to close the case.
