Real Madrid players are 'arrested over claims of sharing a sex tape of an underage teenage girl

Respected Spanish news website El Confidencial is reporting that three Real Madrid players have been arrested.

The outlet is alleging that they were taken into custody after the mother of an underage teenage girl went to police claiming one of the trio filmed a sex video of the youngster and sent it to others.

They were arrested on Thursday morning, according to El Confidencial.

The ongoing investigation is reportedly being led by Civil Guard officers in Gran Canaria because the complaint is said to have been lodged in Mogan in the south of the island on September 6.

The players, who have not been named, have been described as a youth player, a reserve team player and a “third team” player.

Although it did not provide any initial proof to back up its claim, El Confidencial claimed: 'Police sources say there could be several other players involved, including first team players.'

The men said to have been arrested are understood to be under police investigation on suspicion of a crime of 'disclosure of confidential information.'
