<\/h1>\n\n\nLas Palmas de Gran Canaria, Sept. 18 (EFE) – Court number 3 of San Bartolom\u00e9 de Tirajana (Gran Canaria) has agreed to open oral proceedings against Real Madrid defender Ra\u00fal Asencio<\/a> and former players from the club’s youth system Ferr\u00e1n Ruiz, Juan Rodr\u00edguez and Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda, accused of having disseminated without permission videos of a sexual nature that affect two young women, one of whom is a minor.\n\n\n

Now, the case will be referred to a Criminal Court in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to set the date for the public hearing.\n\n\n

The deeds by which they will be judged<\/h2>\n\n\nThe events for which they are going to be judged occurred on June 15, 2023, when the four soccer players were spending the day at a beach club in the town of Amadores, in the south of Gran Canaria.\n\nFerr\u00e1n Ruiz, Juan Rodr\u00edguez and Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda met two girls, one of whom was 16 years old at the time, with whom they had a consensual sexual relationship in a private cabin of the club, which Ra\u00fal Asencio did not enter, who remained at all times apart from what happened there and stayed in the common pool.\n\nThe complainants claim that, without their permission, the three players, who are no longer with Real Madrid, recorded them having sex and shared those videos in WhatsApp groups, even though they had expressly asked them to delete them from their phones.\n\n\n

Asencio’s Involvement<\/h2>\n\n\nAsencio’s involvement in the case came days later, when one of the defendants sent him one of the videos to his mobile phone and he showed it to a friend, supposedly knowing that they had been taken against the will of the young women who appeared in them.\n\nIt’s something that he himself acknowledged in a WhatsApp message recovered by the Civil Guard from his phone, in which he said: “Hey, brother, I showed it to you because Juan (Rodr\u00edguez) passed it to me”, as stated in the ruling that ended the investigation.\n\n\n

Prosecution’s Requests<\/h2>\n\n\nIn this procedure, the Prosecution requests sentences of four years and seven months in prison for Ferr\u00e1n Ruiz, Juan Rodr\u00edguez and Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda, and two years and six months in prison for Ra\u00fal Asencio.\n\nFor the first three, he imputes a crime of distribution of child pornography in competition with two crimes against privacy, for having recorded and distributed the images, while Asencio attributes two crimes against privacy (for having shown the images knowing the circumstances in which they were recorded).\n\nIn the case, the two young complainants are also represented as private prosecutions. The one who was a minor at the time of the events brings charges against the four footballers, while her companion has withdrawn the accusation against Ra\u00fal Asencio.<\/a>\n\nAnd he did so, according to his lawyer’s confirmation to EFE, after having been compensated by the player in an amount that has not been made public and having received a formal letter of apology from the footballer, in which he expressly admits “the error” of having shown a third person the images he received on his mobile.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
