"Media reports from earlier this week alleged Iglesias had sexually and physically assaulted two women who worked at his residences in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas between January and October 2021. A day later, Spanish prosecutors said they were studying the allegations. "With deep sorrow, I respond to the accusations made by two people who previously worked at my home. I deny having abused, coerced or disrespected any woman. These accusations are absolutely false and cause me great sadness," Iglesias said on Instagram."
"Iglesias could potentially be taken in front of the Madrid-based court, which can try alleged crimes by Spanish citizens while they are abroad, according to its press office. A rights group representing the two women said they were accusing Iglesias of "crimes against sexual freedom and indemnity such as sexual harassment" and of "human trafficking for the purpose of forced labor and servitude." Women's Link Worldwide said the two women had presented the complaint to the Spanish court."
