Real Madrid Defender Raul Asencio Remains Suspect in Child Pornography Case

Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio remains a suspect in an ongoing investigation related to the distribution of child pornography involving a sexual video recorded without consent. The Provincial Court of Las Palmas has denied Asencio's request to be dismissed from the case, indicating there is sufficient evidence to maintain his status as a suspect. The incident dates back to June 2023, when several Real Madrid academy players shared a video of sexual acts involving two girls, one of whom was a minor, leading to police involvement after the girls reported the matter. Despite earlier reports suggesting Asencio might no longer be under suspicion, recent developments have confirmed that he still faces potential charges, which could include imprisonment of up to five years. The controversy casts a shadow over tonight's crucial Champions League match against Manchester City, as the club grapples with the implications of the allegations. As the investigation continues, fans and the football community are left questioning the integrity of the sport and the responsibilities of its players.
