Trial Against Soccer Players for Dissemination of Intimate Videos
Court number 3 of San Bartolomé de Tirajana (Gran Canaria) has decided to open oral proceedings against Raúl Asencio, Real Madrid’s defense, and former club youth players Ferrán Ruiz, Juan Rodríguez and Andrés García.
The defendants face charges for the non-consensual dissemination of videos of sexual content involving two young people, one of whom is a minor.
The High Court of Justice of the Canary Islands reports that the judge has requested bail of 20,000 euros for Ruiz, Rodríguez and García, and bail of 15,000 euros for Asencio.
The difference lies in the fact that the first three are accused of recording and disseminating the videos, while Asencio is implicated for his participation in the distribution of the same.
The judicial decision, dated September 2, is final and the case will be referred to a Criminal Court in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to determine the date of the public hearing.Details of the Facts
