An alleged sexual abuse scandal 'splashes' at Emilio Sánchez Vicario's tennis school

The Emilio Sánchez Vicario sports school is one of the most prestigious in our country in terms of elite tennis. However, in recent hours that prestige has been overshadowed by a scandal. This is an alleged sexual assault of a minor under 16 years of age by two other minors within the facility.

This is what Sonsoles said exclusively this Tuesday, when he managed to interview the victim's mother. A matter that has been reported and is currently under investigation by the competent authorities.

"He walked me to the room and left the key in the key. The three of us talked for more than half an hour. When I wanted to go back to class, I tried to open the door and he told me that to let me out he had to perform oral sex on his friend." This is the statement that the victim, just 16 years old, made to the police when she filed a complaint for sexual abuse.

The minor, like her attackers, are students at the Emilio Sánchez Vicario school. In this case, they are the children of millionaire families from Russia and the United Kingdom, and, after the attack, they spread the images to the rest of the students at the center.

Furthermore, the mother revealed that the girl did not receive support from the school or the tennis player.

For her part, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario's brother said: "As soon as we found out, we talked to the girl and she recognized her mistake. We hope she learns to decide better in the future."

However, this could not be the only case, since it is also being investigated whether photos of Emilio Sánchez Vicario's own daughter were sent, but the former tennis player does not give it importance. "At the moment we prefer to wait to see if we file a complaint, although I don't think we will," he wanted to clarify in his statement before the judge.

The two minors, who are no longer in the center, are accused of crimes of revealing secrets and another against sexual freedom. For this reason, the Prosecutor's Office requests that "the Tennis Academy be considered as a possible subsidiary civil liability." That is, Sánchez Vicario and his center answer for this alleged scandal.
