Valencia striker Rafa Mir conditionally released in alleged sexual assault case

LLIRIA, Spain : An investigating judge in Spain has ordered the conditional release of Valencia striker Rafa Mir after he testified over charges of committing sexual assault, a local court said on Wednesday.
Police arrested Mir, 27, on Monday after a woman filed a complaint against him. Mir’s lawyer, Jaime Campaner, said the sexual relations were consensual.
The judge will now lead an investigation into the complaint to establish whether there is enough evidence for Mir to eventually stand trial or if the case should be closed.
Mir will have to appear in court regularly and is not allowed to leave the country while the investigation remains open.
