Yet another sexual misconduct storm brews at Real Madrid

Three unnamed Real Madrid youth players have been arrested by Spanish Police for allegedly distributing a sexual video featuring a minor, according to a police source.

The arrests come at a time of allegations of sexual abuse against former soccer federation chief Luis Rubiales, who kissed World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso on the lips last month, unleashing a wave of indignation against sexism and macho behaviour in Spain.

Real Madrid officials were not immediately available for comment.

El Confidencial newspaper reported earlier, citing sources from the investigation, that those arrested were three players from the youth academy, the reserve team and the third team, and that the case stemmed from a police complaint filed on September 6 in the Canary Islands by the mother of the underage victim.

According to the report, the main subject of the probe is a Real Madrid C — the Spanish club’s third team — player, who allegedly recorded his sexual relationship with the 16-year-old victim. Cadena SER radio station reported that the relationship was consensual.
