Raul Asencio Acquitted in Explicit-Video Trial

Raul Asencio and Real Madrid
3 September 2026

Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio has been acquitted of allegations that he distributed a sexually explicit video involving a minor without consent. Spanish prosecutors withdrew all charges against the 23-year-old during the trial in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.

Three former Real Madrid academy team-mates were convicted and received one-year suspended prison sentences, restraining orders and restrictions on working with minors. The ruling is separate from Asencio’s recent drink-driving conviction, for which Real Madrid opened disciplinary proceedings.
