Spanish prosecutors are probing allegations of sexual assault against Grammy-winning singer Julio Iglesias at two former employees' residences in the Caribbean. According to reports, the Spanish National Court may potentially try Iglesias for alleged crimes committed while abroad.
Women's Link Worldwide has confirmed it represents two women who have filed a complaint with Spanish authorities against Iglesias, alleging crimes against sexual freedom and indemnity such as harassment. The complaints surfaced after an investigation by Spanish media outlets into allegations of misconduct by the singer.
Spanish officials have taken the allegations seriously, with Culture Minister Ernest Urtusan saying that stripping Iglesias of his state honor for artistic merit is being "studied" due to the seriousness of the case.
The 82-year-old singer has not publicly commented on the allegations yet. He is a renowned musical artist who sold over 300 million records in more than a dozen languages, and is also the father of pop singer Enrique Iglesias.
Iglesias' music career spans several decades, with notable achievements including winning a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance in 1988 and receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys in 2019.

Julio Iglesias is being investigated for sexual assault?? I mean I've heard of his ego being huge but wow that's just on another level 
I don't know what to believe yet but if the allegations are true it's absolutely unacceptable. I've been listening to his music since I was a kid and now this? 
It's like my whole perception of him is being turned upside down. And the fact that he's a Grammy winner and all that doesn't make any sense when you're accused of these crimes... I'm not going to sit here and judge him until everything is out in the open, but it's gotta be hard for his fans to deal with this 
this is so not okay... Julio Iglesias is an icon in the music world but apparently he's also a perpetrator of sexual assault 
82 years old and still allegedly getting away with this stuff? that's not ageism, that's systemic failure 
the fact that he's a father of another famous singer Enrique Iglesias makes it even more disturbing 
how can we celebrate his legacy when there are so many stories of pain and suffering attached to it? 
. I mean, 82 years old is not too old to face consequences for his actions, right? 
But on the other hand, he's been in the music industry for decades and has won so many awards, including a Grammy... it raises some questions about accountability #JusticeForTheVictims 
. I'm all about women empowerment and supporting survivors of sexual assault, and this case is definitely giving me a lot to think about 
. Fingers crossed that justice will be served 
.
or something? 
esp since he's an 82 yr old guy 
& he's got a rep for bein some kinda ladies man 
i think the fact that spanish officials r takin this so seriously is awesome 
but at the same time, can't we just give these women space 2 process what's happenin 2 them? 
anyways, it's like, u gotta believe survivors & not believe the "he said she said" game 
hope justice gets served
