Legendary Singer Julio Iglesias Under Investigation In Spain For Sexual Assault
Spanish music legend Julio Iglesias is suddenly facing a brutal chapter he probably never imagined. Spanish prosecutors have opened a case after two women stepped forward, accusing him of sexual assault, manipulation, and outright abuse on the job. The accusations have ripped through the entertainment world, cracking the glossy, untouchable image Iglesias has leaned on for decades.
Sexual Assault Allegations Emerge From Former Employees
According to the women, everything traces back to 2021, when they were working inside Iglesias’ high‑end homes in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas. What should’ve been ordinary jobs in luxury settings turned into something far darker, at least according to their accounts.
According to US Magazine, the two women—identified under pseudonyms—claim they endured repeated abuse while working as a domestic employee and a physiotherapist. “The domestic worker, who is referred to under the pseudonym Rebecca, claimed that she was pressured into having sex with Iglesias and allegedly endured acts of slapping, physical and verbal abuse. Rebecca, who was 22 years old when she worked for the Grammy winner, claimed that Iglesias frequently called her into his room at the end of the day.”
In a statement to elDiario.es, “Rebecca” further alleged, “He used me almost every night…I felt like an object, like a slave.”
The women also allege that Iglesias pressured them into non‑consensual sexual encounters, subjected them to verbal insults, and created a workplace environment defined by fear and manipulation.
Spain’s Prosecutors Step In
Spain’s High Court prosecutor’s office confirmed that it is reviewing a criminal complaint of sexual assault filed on Jan. 5. While no charges have been formally issued, the investigation marks a significant moment for a performer long regarded as a national treasure. The complaint is currently under review, though Iglesias’ representatives have not publicly responded to requests for comment.
The sexual assault allegations have kicked up a messy public fight in Spain. Iglesias isn’t just another celebrity there—he’s woven into the country’s cultural identity, which makes people react in very different ways. Some officials are backing the push to dig into the claims, while others are already circling the wagons to protect the legacy they believe shouldn’t be touched.
A Legacy Under Scrutiny
With more than 300 million records sold worldwide, Iglesias has spent decades cultivating an image of charm, romance, and global stardom. Now, that image is colliding with serious allegations that could reshape how the world remembers him.
As the investigation unfolds, the focus remains on the women who stepped forward—whose stories, if proven true, could mark one of the most significant reckonings in modern Latin music history.
