Spain goalkeeper David de Gea denies forced sex party claim



Spain and Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has denied a claim reported in a Spanish newspaper that he organised a sex party with prostitutes for teammates in which a woman was made to take part against her will.
"It's all false," de Gea said.
The claims are contained in court papers in a trial against a pornography baron seen by El Diario newspaper.
A witness claims the defendant forced her and another girl into sex with two Under-21 internationals in 2012.
"I am the first one to be surprised by this report. I deny it, it is false and nothing more, it is a lie and false," de Gea told a press conference at Spain's Euro 2016 training base.
"It is false what is coming out in the press and it will be in the hands of my lawyers," he added.
The claims are part of a continuing case against pornographer Ignacio Allende Fernández, known as Torbe, who is accused of being the head of a prostitution network that abused Spanish and foreign women, some of them underage.
Torbe was remanded in custody in April charged with offences including sex attacks, sexual exploitation and child pornography.
The protected witness, who claims she was forced into the prostitution ring, said she was taken to a Madrid hotel and introduced to another girl and two footballers.
Once in a room with the other girl, the witness - known in police interview papers as TP3 - said that she was told by Torbe that she had to comply with the sexual demands of the two Under-21 internationals.
When she said she did not wish to take part, she claimed to police that Torbe "grabbed her forcefully by the arm".
The witness said she had told Torbe in front of the footballers that she did not want to take part in the sexual encounter, El Diario reported.
El Diario claimed the players said they did not want any recordings of the encounter to be made in case their playing careers were affected.
The witness claimed the encounter had been arranged by de Gea, according to the police report published by El Diario.

Payets goal though.... Fuck me that was a spanker!

Punch in the stomach yesterday letting that goal in the last minute.

We need to hack Bale early and the welsh will be a walkover Thursday.

Russians are nutters.

Germany are a force and favourites.

For the first time in as long as I can remember I enjoyed watching England play football. OK the result should have been different but in terms of the way we played I was pleased. Still things to work on of course, like millions of others I sat and wondered what the fuck our 6 foot plus striker was doing aking corners, I wondered how Raheem Sterling manages to play football at International level, I also couldnt understand why you would take Rooney off with 10 minutes to go. Rooney is and has been for as long as I can remember our best protector of a football, his passing and vision are miles better than anyone else in the team.

If we'd have taken our chances we might have rolled them over 4 or 5 and certain people would have been talking like we'd already won it so maybe for the best that we didnt.

The fan situation is obviously concerning, I say fan, what I mean is the mornic twats who fancy themselves as hard men ruining it for others.

Note to these 'hard men'. I've known a few genuinely hard men over the years, not one of them have I ever heard tell someone how hard they are or recount fights they'd had and won, and not ever have I seen one of them launch a plastic patio chair at someone as a weapon. Giving it legs whilst their mates are getting their heads stamped on, proper hard

I got France in our office sweepstakes. They didn't look great but with cash for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place I reckon I'm nailed on for some dough.

I didn't even know who half the team were having not watched Premiership football for a couple years but I also really enjoyed the first half. Best we have played in a long time. I can see why Hoddle was purring as it was how he liked his teams to play and some of it was nearly sublime. The Rooney substitution did seem a bit bonkers too. You are right about the wannabe hard men too. Now we are threatened with being thrown out despite the fact that Russian Ultras, French Nutters and a local 'pen them in and fire some tear gas' happy police force are equally, if not more to blame for most of the trouble.
