Soccer stars have ever been in the controversies for their out of the field conducts and when these players are associated with a big club their off-field conducts become a matter of worry for respective sides. Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is one such name who has recently been dragged into a sexual assault case. It is being revealed in the police investigation and they told that a protected minor witness has named Spanish goalie as the man who arranged the sex encounter between her and another woman with two Spain’s under-21 players in a Madrid hotel in 2012. Reportedly, minor witness identified one of the players as Athletic Bilbao’s Iker Muniain while another one she could not recognize and blamed the Red Devils player to have been directly involved in running a sex racket. Expectedly, De Gea, who is along with the national side for the European Championship, calls these allegations false and fabricated and said, “I am more surprised than anyone about this. Of course I am staying with the team. I have great support from my teammates and am even more looking forward to this Euros now. It is something false which has come out in the press, now in the hands of my lawyers. This gives me more strength to train more, to help the team however I can.”
Adding about the time this case is belonged to and what he was doing then, 25-year-old Spanish player said, “I was in the room on the PlayStation and heard the news. Above all I wanted to tell my family, so they know this is all false, and they can be relaxed. I remain a very relaxed guy and few things can change that on the pitch or off the pitch. I am still very relaxed, just want to train and do what I like to do. I am not thinking about leaving the camp, not at all. I just want the tournament to start and hopefully I will be able to play.”
This case in its investigation stage and directly linked to the pornography impresario Ignacio Allende Fernandez, known as ‘Torbe,’who has been behind the bars since April on charges of child pornography, human trafficking for pornography, sexual exploitation, extortion, blackmail, along with tax fraud. If police finds more evidence against the goalie, he may be under serious trouble especially when he is up to the mega soccer event. Let’s hope for the best and wait for more developments.
