Rafa Mir, a 28-year-old Spanish forward from Elche, defended himself against the accusation of rape, for which the Public Prosecutor's Office is seeking a sentence of ten and a half years in prison. The player denies any sexual crime, stating that the relationships he had with the two young women were entirely consensual. According to the footballer's account, the events began in the VIP area of a nightclub in Valencia, where he met the two women and had sexual relations with one of them. Subsequently, the group moved to Mir's residence, where the player had relations with the other friend before returning to intimacy with the first. The defense argues that this sexual triangle triggered a disagreement between the two young women, which led to the intervention of the private security of the condominium and later the local police. However, the defense's statement emphasizes that none of the reports raised by the authorities mention a possible crime against sexual freedom, as neither of the women filed a complaint in that regard at the time. According to records, one of the young women reported being upset that her friend went with the player, while the other claimed that a friend of Rafa Mir had slapped her. Based on these facts, Rafa Mir's defense requests his acquittal and demands that the trial be conducted publicly, opposing the Public Prosecutor's request for some sessions to be held behind closed doors. The defense argues that the conditions for such a measure are not met, nor for the implementation of protective mechanisms aimed at separating the alleged victims from the defendant. 'Nothing justifies that the course of the oral trial falls into the hermeticism of a closed-door celebration. No reason is expressed by the applicant for such a radical restriction to deprive public scrutiny of the reliability and sufficiency of the evidence proposed by the accusations in general and, particularly, of the testimony of the complainant, as presented by the accusations with the intention of nullifying the presumption of innocence of the defendant,' pointed out his lawyer.
