Security guards back up victim of alleged sexual assault in case with La Liga forward

Valencia forward Rafa Mir, on loan from Sevilla, is still under investigation for an alleged sexual assault case.

He was detained on September 1 but later released as authorities continued their inquiry. Mir denies all allegations.

The 27-year-old was disciplined by Valencia for breaking team curfew rules after returning late with a friend and two women following a home defeat. He was expelled from the squad but later reinstated after apologizing to teammates and staff.

The case remains in the investigation phase, with new testimony from two security guards supporting the alleged victims.

The guards claimed they overheard a disturbing statement, contradicting initial police actions, which treated the matter as minor. Authorities are now gathering further evidence and witness statements.
