Three Real Madrid soccer players have been arrested. The police said on Thursday, according to Reuters, that the players are suspected of having distributed a sexually tinged video involving a minor.
The Spanish newspaper El Confidencial previously reported that the investigation began when the mother of the underage girl filed a criminal complaint in the Canary Islands on September 6. The mother believes that one of the arrested players shot the video and others had shared it on Whatsapp.
The Cadera SER radio channel, on the other hand, says that the relationship between the player who filmed the video and the 16-year-old girl who appeared in it was friendly.
The identities of the players will not be revealed. According to the source, the person who shot the video plays in Real’s third team.
Real Madrid has not commented on the matter.
In Spain, there has been an uproar over the last few weeks due to suspicions of sexual crimes. After the world championship of the country’s women’s national football team, the president of the football association By Luis Rubiales forcibly kissed the star player Jenni Hermosoa at the award ceremony. Rubiales resigned from his post.
The head coach Jorge Vilda also lost his job. He was also reported to have touched female players inappropriately. The scandal has increased the debate about equality in Spanish football and the harassment faced by female players.
