Julio Iglesias is denying allegations of sexual assault made by two former female employees who worked at his properties in the Bahamas and Dominican Republic in 2021. The women filed a legal complaint in Spain alleging sexual assault and human trafficking, claiming Iglesias subjected them to sexual harassment, restricted their movement, and forced them to work long hours. Advocacy groups are supporting the women, suggesting the alleged acts could constitute human trafficking for forced labor and crimes against sexual freedom. Iglesias responded on Instagram, stating the accusations are false and that he has never abused, coerced, or disrespected any woman. The allegations are reportedly supported by documentary evidence, and Spain's judiciary is investigating.
