Real Madrid's Asencio acquitted in sex-video sharing case

Prosecutors dropped charges after the victims forgave the defendants, while three former Real Madrid youth players received suspended prison sentences.

  • On Thursday, a court in Gran Canaria acquitted Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio of charges that he shared a sexual video without consent after prosecutors dropped the case following victim forgiveness.
  • Separately, Asencio faces disciplinary proceedings from Real Madrid after a DUI conviction last month, resulting in a €14,400 fine and an eight-month driving ban imposed by court on Wednesday.
  • Real Madrid coach José Mourinho confirmed the club opened disciplinary proceedings, stating, "Everything you do outside your professional sphere still reflects on Real Madrid," while noting Asencio remains part of his plans.
  • Currently sidelined with a muscle injury expected to keep him out a couple more weeks, Asencio misses play while three other youth players involved in the video received suspended one-year sentences.
  • Mourinho emphasized that accumulated mistakes differ from isolated incidents, maintaining that off-field conduct damages the prestige of the club, which he described as "untouchable," though Asencio remains in his plans.
