  "summary": "Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio has been acquitted of charges related to sharing a sexually explicit video without the victims' consent. A court on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria cleared Asencio of the offence, and prosecutors dropped the charges against him.\n\nThe case involved a video of an intimate encounter at a beach club in Gran Canaria in June 2023, which was recorded and disseminated without the consent of the two female victims, aged 16 and 18. According to Adom Online, three of Asencio's former teammates from the Real Madrid academy were convicted and given a one-year suspended prison sentence for \"child pornography\". They must also attend a sexual \"re-education\" course and were handed a two-year restraining order against the victims, and three years of disqualification from working in any profession related to minors.\n\nAsencio released a statement saying he had been through a difficult situation and was relieved that justice had been served. He expressed understanding and respect for the media's right to report, but was pleased that the judicial process had now concluded in his favour.",
