"Two female former employees who worked at Iglesias's Caribbean mansions 10 days ago accused the veteran entertainer of sexual assault, saying they had been subjected to inappropriate touching, insults and humiliation in an atmosphere of control and constant harassment. The allegations emerged at the end of a three-year joint investigation by the Spanish news site elDiario.es and the Spanish-language TV network Univision Noticias, which gathered testimony from 15 former employees who worked for the 82-year-old singer between the late 1990s and 2023."
"One of the women, referred to as Rebeca to protect her identity, said Iglesias, who was 77 at the time, would frequently call her to his room at the end of the working day. She said he would then penetrate her anally and vaginally with his fingers without her consent. He used me almost every night, she told elDiario.es and Univision Noticias. I felt like an object, like a slave."
Two former female employees accused Julio Iglesias of sexual assault and human trafficking, alleging inappropriate touching, insults, humiliation, and constant harassment at his Caribbean mansions. A three-year joint investigation by elDiario.es and Univision Noticias gathered testimony from 15 former employees who worked for the singer between the late 1990s and 2023. The two complainants, a domestic worker and a physical therapist employed at mansions in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas, filed a complaint with the Audiencia Nacional. Spanish prosecutors rejected the complaint, saying courts lacked jurisdiction because the alleged offences occurred outside Spain, and said prosecution could be pursued in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.
