Raul Asencio is facing criminal charges for sharing explicit video of a minor
Real Madrid defender, Raul Asencio, together with three former teammates from the club’s youth team are facing criminal charges for allegedly sharing sexual images a minor and woman.
Asencio is alleged to have solicited a video recorded by his former youth division teammates Andres Garcia, Ferran Ruiz an Juan Rodriguez, that depicted a June 2023 sexual encounter between his ex-teammates, a woman and a girl.
Upon thorough probe by the Gran Canaria High Court of Justice that was made public on May 14, 2025, they decided to formalise the criminal proceedings against the four players.
The decision has paved way for the prosecutor’s office to file charges and request trial for the case to be heard.
During proceedings, the judge stated that they have gathered evidence to substantiate allegations of crimes including violation of privacy, distribution of video to third parties without the victims’ consent.
Asencio’s appeal to end the investigation into his alleged role in the past was rejected by the court citing lack of concrete evidence.
It will be recalled that the four players were arrested by Spanish authorities in September 2023.
The police seized their mobile phones with the club confirming they had provided evidence to the officers.
The 22-year-old has been one of the best defenders for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, making crucial clearances and tackles despite Real Madrid going trophyless in the 2024/2025.
