Valencia footballer accused of sexual harassment demands review of the case
Updated information on the Rafa Mir case continues to emerge. El Mundo has obtained access to the Valencia footballer's testimony in Instructional Court No. 8 in Lliria. In the provided documents, the footballer criticizes the investigation, calling it "biased and one-sided."
Details: The player’s defense refers to a report by the local Betera police, compiled at the outset of the investigation. This report states that one of the young women at the scene claimed that the allegedly assaulted girl "went into the bathroom" with Rafa Mir consensually. The defense asserts that the initial local police report was accurate, but judicial police ignored this statement and charged the Valencia footballer.
Additional: The Spanish player is calling for a review of the testimony and accuses the Civil Guard of ignoring crucial facts. Rafa Mir’s lawyer, Jaime Campaner, stated that this reflects a biased and one-sided approach by the Civil Guard.
Recall: The forward was arrested following complaints from two young women but was later released on bail with precautionary measures. His club, Valencia, granted him a few days off to assess the situation.
