(Web Desk) – Spanish crooner Julio Iglesias is the target of a criminal complaint, judicial sources said Tuesday, after two women ex-employees accused him of sexually abusing them.
The assaults were alleged to have taken place in 2021 at his mansions in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas, according to a joint investigation published Tuesday by elDiario.es newspaper in Spain and Univision television.
Judicial sources confirmed to AFP that a complaint was filed against 82-year-old Iglesias on January 5 which is currently under review, without giving further details.
News of the complaint emerged after the joint investigation was released.
The report cited allegations from a domestic worker and a physiotherapist who accused Iglesias of sexual harassment, inappropriate touching, mistreatment and, in one case, rape.
“I felt like an object, like a slave in the 21st century,” one of the women, identified as Rebeca, told US-based Spanish-language television Univision.
“He would touch me in every possible way,” added the Dominican woman, who was 22 years old at the time of the alleged incidents.
