"The alleged assaults, which are said to have taken place in 2021, came to light on Tuesday after a three-year joint investigation by the Spanish news site elDiario.es and the Spanish-language TV network Univision Noticias. With great regret, I am responding to the allegations from two people who used to work in my house, Iglesias wrote in a post on Instagram early on Friday morning. I have never abused, coerced or disrespected any woman. These accusations are absolutely false and pain me deeply."
"The allegations are the subject of a preliminary investigation by prosecutors at the court. Rebeca has alleged that Iglesias, who was 77 at the time, would often call her to his room at the end of the working day. She claimed he would then penetrate her anally and vaginally with his fingers without her consent. He used me almost every night, she said. I felt like an object, like a slave."
The 82-year-old Spanish singer denied allegations that he sexually abused two former employees who worked in his Caribbean mansions, stating he never abused, coerced, or disrespected any woman. Two women — a domestic worker and a physical therapist using the pseudonyms Rebeca and Laura — filed a complaint at Spain's Audiencia Nacional accusing him of sexual assault and human trafficking. Prosecutors have opened a preliminary investigation. Rebeca alleges repeated non-consensual digital anal and vaginal penetration in 2021; Laura alleges unwanted kissing and breast touching. The alleged incidents emerged after a three-year joint investigation by elDiario.es and Univision Noticias.
