Rafa Mir Declines to Testify After Being Formally Processed on Sexual Assault Charge

A judge says the evidence is strong enough to proceed toward trial.

Overview

  • Mir and co-defendant Pablo Jara appeared by videolink before the Llíria court and exercised their right to remain silent on advice of counsel.
  • The judge processed Mir for alleged sexual aggression with vaginal digital penetration and use of violence stemming from events at his Bétera home on the night of August 31 to September 1, 2024.
  • Jara was processed for alleged sexual aggression without penetration and for a minor injuries offense connected to a second complainant.
  • Bonds were set to cover potential civil liabilities, with €12,500 for Mir and €5,000 for Jara, as the case remains in the pre-trial phase.
  • The order cites witness and complainant statements, forensic medical reports, photographs of the property, and extracted phone and SIM data, while scrutiny of fan chants and Elche CF’s handling of Mir continues.
