GRAN CANARIA, May 16 — Canaria Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio said yesterday a presumption of innocence “must continue to prevail” after he was indicted in a case involving the viewing and distribution of a sexual video involving a minor.

The 22-year-old centre-back said in a statement that documents from a Gran Canaria court indicated that his possible involvement in the case was limited “to the possible momentary viewing of some images by a third party, without attributing any involvement to me in the recording or dissemination”.
