David De Gea denies rape allegations

Spanish keeper David De Gea calls rape allegations “false”.

According to court documents obtained by Spanish newspaper El Dario, a protected witness claimed Spanish goalkeeper, David De Gea, organized a non-consensual “sex party” with prostitutes for two Spain Under-21 teammates in 2012.

In a trial against pornography entrepreneur Ingnacio Allende Fernandez, who was arrested in April for sexual exploitation, child pornography and money laundering, a witness stated that Fernandez and De Gea arranged the meeting between two women and the footballers.

One of the victims further claimed that her and the other woman were forced into a bedroom with De Gea’s former teammates in a luxurious hotel in Madrid and the two men made it clear that discretion was imperative, not wanting to harm their professional careers.

During a press conference on Friday, De Gea maintained his innocence claiming, “I have no idea where the reports came from or how I could be in this. I am very relaxed, and I can only say it is all false.”
