A new investigative report has placed Julio Iglesias at the center of serious allegations. Two young women who once worked at one of his Caribbean properties say they faced sexual assault and coercion. Their complaints, now public, have prompted scrutiny from Spanish and U.S. media and opened a legal chapter for the famed singer.
What the joint investigation uncovered
Spanish outlet El Diario partnered with Univision Noticias to piece together accounts and documents. The report centers on accusations made by two employees who worked on Iglesias’s estate. Both have since filed formal complaints for sexual assault.

- The singer is identified in testimonies as the aggressor.
- Journalists collected medical records and message threads cited as evidence.
One woman’s account: repeated assaults and pressure
According to her statement, the first woman was 22 at the time of the alleged events. She describes a pattern of coerced encounters that left her feeling dehumanized.
She reports that the encounters were often accompanied by threats and verbal abuse. She says the pressure was constant and left her feeling trapped.
That employee also claims some incidents occurred while a supervisor was present. The supervisor has denied witnessing or knowing about any misconduct.
Second testimony: unwanted touching and a climate of fear
The second complainant, a physiotherapist, relays a different set of episodes. She says she was kissed without consent and touched in intimate areas.
She recounts one episode on the beach and others near the villa pool in Punta Cana. She portrays a workplace where refusal risks dismissal.
“He would remind staff that working for him was a privilege,” she said, describing the power imbalance.
Alleged workplace practices and medical oversight
Both women describe invasive medical procedures imposed on staff who served the residences. They say routine checks included gynecological exams and STI screenings.
One former employee adds that recruitment officers advised her to accept the singer’s advances. She felt those comments were coercive.
- Reported requirements: mandatory gynecological exams and infection testing.
- Recruitment pressure: staff allegedly urged to accommodate the employer’s behavior.
Documents, messages, and legal steps
Investigators say they reviewed documents that include medical reports and WhatsApp exchanges. Those items are cited as supporting elements for the women’s claims.
Both complainants filed criminal complaints, initiating formal legal follow-up. The timing and scope of any official investigation may unfold in court.
Media and legal response
Representatives for Julio Iglesias did not respond to requests from the journalists involved. The singer, now 82, has not publicly commented through a representative.
Authorities and legal teams typically examine corroborating materials such as medical records, witness accounts, and electronic messages when claims of this nature are lodged.
