Second Accuser Withdraws Complaint Against Raúl Asencio, Prosecutor Weighs Whether to Proceed

With private claims dropped, the case enters the oral-trial phase with only the public prosecution to be confirmed by the Fiscalía.

Overview

  • The second complainant, a minor at the time of the events, has withdrawn her accusation after citing an apology and distinguishing Asencio’s conduct from the other defendants.
  • An earlier withdrawal by the first complainant means Asencio now faces only the public case from the prosecutor, who has requested two and a half years in prison and €10,000 in compensation.
  • The investigating court in San Bartolomé de Tirajana has already opened the oral trial, and the withdrawals will be formalized during pre-trial motions.
  • Prosecutors’ filings allege a non-consensual recording during a sexual encounter at Beach Club Amadores and say Asencio later showed the video once to a third party.
  • The other three accused—Ferrán Ruiz, Juan Rodríguez and Andrés García—still face harsher requests of four years and seven months in prison, restraining orders and €25,000 for each alleged victim.
