The two young women who were victims in a case involving sexual videos have forgiven Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio and his former teammates Ferrán Ruiz, Juan Rodríguez, and Andrés García. This forgiveness was confirmed during the first session of the trial before the judge, where the victims expressed their decision.

According to reports, one of the young women stated that she forgives the footballers 'of my own free will' and with the aim of bringing the judicial process to a close. This act of forgiveness has been highlighted in various media outlets as a significant gesture in the course of the case.

However, it has been emphasized that the victims' statement does not dismiss the charges against the four footballers, which include accusations of child pornography. These charges remain in effect and will be addressed during the course of the trial.

The case has attracted media attention due to its nature and the involvement of public figures in the sports world, leading to extensive coverage from various sources. The judicial process continues as details related to the events are explored.
