Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio will stand trial in September over the alleged sharing of intimate footage involving a minor, despite both alleged victims withdrawing their complaints against him.Asencio is facing two charges — allegedly distributing the video without consent, and allegedly sharing a sex tape involving a minor. He will stand trial alongside three of his former Madrid youth-team team-mates. Ferran Ruiz, Juan Rodriguez and Andres Garcia are facing charges over allegedly recording and distributing videos of sexual content of a minor and one other woman.On Thursday, the case judge dismissed all the arguments put forward by defence lawyers for all four men in the preliminary hearing ahead of the trial, which will take place in Gran Canaria on September 3, 4 and 7 this year.The defence lawyers had argued for evidence to be struck from the record, including that obtained from the seizure of the phones of defendants by the Spanish police.In court documents seen by The Athletic, the judge declared such seizures “do not require the consent of the owners” of the phones, and added: “All the defendants made backups to their cloud account to delete contents before their arrests, in a clear attempt to thwart the investigation of the reported events.”The case centres on the filming, allegedly without consent, of a sexual encounter in the private area of a beach club in the Canary Islands in June 2023, as well as the alleged distribution of the video, again without consent.Asencio is not accused of having been involved in the incident or the filming of it, but it was alleged that he asked for the videos and showed them to another friend, which would constitute two crimes against privacy, per Article 77 of the Spanish Criminal Code.
