Julio Iglesias Faces Sexual Assault Allegations

Spanish prosecutors have launched an investigation into serious sexual assault allegations against singer Julio Iglesias. This follows complaints filed by two former employees on January 5. The case has attracted significant media attention following a joint investigation by two Spanish news outlets.

Details of the Allegations

The allegations were made public through an extensive three-year investigation conducted by elDiario.es and Univision Noticias. According to them, the investigation compiled testimonies from 15 former employees who had worked with Iglesias from the late 1990s until 2023. None of these individuals spoke on the record, but many described a toxic environment marked by intimidation and abuse.

• The two women who filed complaints worked as a domestic worker and a physical therapist in 2021.
• Both claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Iglesias or coerced into sexual acts by his superiors.
• One woman described her experiences with Iglesias in graphic detail, alleging nightly abuse.
• The other woman stated that he had inappropriately touched her without consent.

Reactions and Responses

Despite the severe nature of these allegations, Julio Iglesias has not publicly responded. His lawyer, Russell L. King, and his record label, Sony Music, have not commented on the situation. Repeated attempts to reach Iglesias through his official website have been unsuccessful.

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the conservative governor of Madrid, defended the artist, stating the region would not discredit him, considering his prominence. However, Elma Saiz, a government minister, emphasized that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated, insisting that society must not tolerate impunity.
