Apparently he was involved in some kind of scandal that caused him to be sent home. Does anyone know any more information?

That's a really thin article, I'd expect if he was sent away they'd have called up someone already. I suppose we won't know anything for sure until the Spanish press conference tonight.

CONFIRMED: De Gea is NOT sent home and is currently in a hotel with the team. Innocent until proven guilty.

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea and Athletic Bilbao attacking midfielder Iker Muniain have been named in a sexual assault case regarding an incident dating back to 2012, according to Spanish source El Diario (h/t Chris Deeley of Yahoo Sport).

The Spanish pair have been accused by an unnamed witness currently testifying against one Ignacio Fernandez Allende, also dubbed Torbe, who is currently jailed on charges ranging from human trafficking for sexual exploitation, sexual assault and child pornography.

Jack de Menezes of the Independent reported De Gea has already been sent home from Spain's squad ahead of UEFA Euro 2016, although Spanish football expert Guillem Balague and the Mirror's Ed Malyon have said otherwise:

Breaking down the allegations, Deeley described how the witness said she was assaulted by Muniain and an "unnamed player" after Torbe forced her into a sexual transaction De Gea is said to have initiated:

It is claimed that United keeper De Gea was the person who called Torbe to arrange the meeting, with the woman reporting that they kept in touch afterwards in an effort to keep her quiet. De Gea is also said to have tried to arrange another encounter with five Unitedplayers, but there is no proof that this meeting ever took place.

According to Spanish publication Marca, another woman was said to be involved in the alleged assault, after which threats were made to try to keep the matter quiet:

Both the other girl, as well as TP3 [the codename given to the protected witness] were sexually assaulted by the men, as they were physically assaulted by both if they refused.

After finishing with the sexual desires of these footballers, they made threats so that what happened in that hotel room would never come to light.

The report in Marca also cited El Diario stating the police investigating the incident attribute a "high degree of credibility" to the witness' statement.

Oh great, now there's a solid chance one of my favourite players is scum. Fantastic.

I know, I know, innocent until proven guilty, but footballers don't exactly have the best track record in these cases.

Let's hope this discourages Perez from attempting to transfer him to Real Madrid.

We couldn't be happier with Navas.

Spain goalkeeper David de Gea has denied as "lies" a claim he organised a sex party with prostitutes for teammates in which a woman was forced to take part against her will.
"It's all false," de Gea told reporters.
The claims are contained in court papers in a trial against a pornography baron seen by a Spanish newspaper.
A witness said the pornographer forced her and another girl into sex with two Under-21 internationals in 2012.

It looks like it is a false rumor, but that may be my wishful thinking.

it's probably true, but whether he deserves to be called scum for having participated in a party with hookers is another question. Not easy being a wealthy famous footballer nowadays. I mean you fuck a girl and the next day she has sold the story to the press. It's also the question whether he knew she wasn't there voluntarily. Mind you, it's a lot of easy money in that business, and especially when dealing with such clientele. However, if he did know, but how would he?, that she wasn't there on her own free will, then yes, scum. But.. most likely he's not.

This is my personal opinion but. I do not believe a single word in this. Just calculations from these women. Sleep with famous footballer, then say it was against her will, blah blah. Just pay me the money or I will say you raped me.

well you can't really trust the spanish press. so I won't make any judgements until some light is shed on this story.

innocent until proven guilty.

That's the Europeen law, glad to see Spain applying it, Benz should have been treated the same...

Iker Muniain and Isco have also been linked.

Yeah these stories really annoy me . I don't believe it too . It is easy to pick on footballers who just want to fck a girl . WHY WOULD HE TRIED TO RAPE HER ? He has money and fame . He can walk into any bar and simply pick a girl to take home . Hookers are just easier way to keep your life private . Although still they don't manage this well and stories leak .

I think Ronaldo should start PImp School . This guy sleeps with all sorts of gorgeous and rich woman , and rarely gets into any scandals . His penis actually makes famous woman even more famous :D

@Marcus2011 :O Too much details, dear, way too much. ;P
