Raúl Asencio, a former youth player for Real Madrid, may be heading to prison as legal proceedings intensify over a sex video scandal that rocked Spanish football in 2023. Prosecutors are now seeking a four-year prison sentence against the footballer for allegedly distributing a sexually explicit video involving a minor — despite not being present during the actual filming.
According to a report by COPE, the incident involved three Real Madrid youth players who recorded a sexual encounter at a beach club in Gran Canaria without the knowledge or consent of the individuals involved, including a girl under the age of 18. Asencio is accused of receiving and knowingly sharing the video, even after being made aware that one of the girls in the footage was a minor and had requested the video be deleted.
Prosecutors are demanding:
4 years of imprisonment for Asencio
A fine of €10 per day over 20 months
A total of €58,000 in compensation to the underage victim

The breakdown of the compensation includes €27,000 for temporary physical injuries, €21,000 for post-traumatic psychological trauma, and €10,000 for moral damages.
Charges filed against Asencio include distribution of child pornography and revealing secrets, both of which carry severe penalties under Spanish law. While Asencio did not film the incident, his role in circulating the video is central to the legal action being pursued.
COPE also confirmed that the second woman who appeared in the video — and who is of legal age — is planning to file a similar complaint in the coming weeks, signaling that further legal action may follow.
This case has reignited debates in Spain over digital consent, privacy rights, and the responsibilities of public figures, especially in sports. The outcome could set a strong precedent regarding digital misconduct, particularly in cases involving minors.
