The legal case involving Raul Asencio, a 22-year-old defender for Real Madrid, is still ongoing. Asencio has strongly defended himself, claiming he is innocent. However, serious accusations have been made against him. He is facing charges of sharing sexual content without permission, and more seriously, distributing child pornography.
The incident under investigation took place during the summer of 2023. It involved Asencio and three other players from Real Madrid’s academy – Juan Dominguez, Ferran Ruiz, and Andres Martin. These three players are no longer with the club.
The investigation revealed that these players allegedly had sexual relations with two girls, who were 16 and 18 years old at the time. The problem is that the girls were reportedly filmed without their permission during these encounters. Raul Asencio is accused of sharing the videos from this incident.
According to Cadena Cope, a Spanish news outlet, the case has now officially moved to trial. Both victims – especially the one who was underage – have filed charges against Asencio.
The prosecution is pushing for a four-year prison sentence and a fine of €58,000. This fine is meant to cover the emotional and mental suffering caused to the victims, including temporary injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Even though the situation is very serious, Asencio’s legal team appears confident. They told the press they are calm and ready to defend him in court. They believe the evidence will prove that Raul Asencio is innocent.
For a long time, Asencio stayed silent about the issue. But after he was officially accused, he wrote an open letter in May 2025. In the letter, he continued to deny any wrongdoing and asked the public to respect the presumption of innocence – meaning that he should not be judged guilty until proven so in court.
At the end of the letter, he wrote:
“I would like to reiterate, once again, my absolute respect for the rights to sexual freedom and privacy of all women.”
What Happens If He’s Found Guilty?
In Spain, people who receive a prison sentence of less than two years often don’t serve real jail time. Instead, the sentence may be suspended, meaning they don’t go to jail unless they commit another crime. So if Raul Asencio is found guilty and sentenced to less than two years, he might avoid prison.
Final Thoughts on the Raul Asencio Court Case
The Raul Asencio scandal has shocked fans of Spanish football, especially followers of Real Madrid. With the trial coming soon, more details are expected to emerge.
