Real Madrid defender Asencio faces 5 years in prison for distributing child pornography

Real Madrid's central defender Raúl Asencio, who made it into the main team this season, has found himself at the center of a major scandal.

Details: According to El Confidencial, Asencio faces 5 years in prison for distributing child pornography.

The incident occurred back during Asencio's time playing for Real Madrid's youth team. While on vacation in the Canary Islands, his friends filmed a sex video with two local girls without their consent. It later turned out that one of them was underage.

This video came into Asencio's possession, and he sent it to a third party.

Today, the court rejected the appeal of the 21-year-old footballer, keeping him among the accused.

This season, Asencio has played in 20 matches for Real Madrid's main team.

Reminder: Yesterday, it was reported that Real Madrid plans to sign a new 5-year contract with Asencio.
