Julio Iglesias Accused of Sexual Assault by Former Staff
Multiple women have recently come forward with allegations of sexual assault against Spanish singer Julio Iglesias.The accusations span decades and detail alleged abuse occurring while the women worked at properties owned by the singer.
Two women filed a complaint with the Spanish courts in December 2023, alleging repeated sexual assault and abuse by Iglesias during the 1970s and 1980s. According to reports in El país, https://english.elpais.com/society/2023-12-22/two-women-accuse-julio-iglesias-of-rape-in-luxury-villas-he-abused-me-almost-every-night.html the women claim the abuse took place at Iglesias’s villas in Spain and other locations. They allege a pattern of coercion and abuse of power.
Further allegations surfaced in reports from dutch media outlet HBVL, https://www.hbvl.be/nieuws/wereldnieuws/he-raped-me-almost-every-night-julio-iglesias-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-staff-at-horror-house~16766999/ detailing similar claims of sexual assault by staff members at a property referred to as a “horror house.”
Iglesias, 80 years old, has not directly addressed the specific allegations publicly, but his legal team has issued statements denying the claims.
