“His mother is devastated by the public condemnation. They are reporting him out of spite.”

Rafa Mir packed his bags to develop a plot of land in the middle of the chalet of the Torre urbanization in Conill de Bétera where I went on a trip with two friends and with two girls it cost him dearly: He is the subject of an investigation for sexual assault – with carnal access – on one of these young women met at the Mya nightclub.

In this hasty change of scenery, which occurred this Thursday, following the media earthquake caused by the case, Rafa Mir was helped to load his suitcases into a car by his father, the former footballer Magín Mir, and his mother, Cristina Vicente, a teacher by profession.His mother is devastated by the public condemnation“, laments a close friend of the Valencia CF striker. “There are even memes.” “It’s a media trial.”

This judgment also takes place on the planet football: “Professionally, he is screwed.. He is publicly condemned: And the presumption of innocence? », as reflected by this person who has known the case since the very moment his relative, the footballer Rafa Mir, was taken to the cells of the Civil Guard barracks in Patraix.

“It makes no sense that he would commit the act he is accused of because it would harm his sporting career.“Rafa is a pretty intelligent person who knows perfectly well that he is a professional and knows what is at stake: he cannot fall into one of these cases.”

To the judicial storm – seasoned with media pressure – that threatens to bury the sporting renaissance that the striker was looking for with his loan from Sevilla to Valencia, Rafa Mir faces it with the strong personality that he developed when he was signed by the scouts of FC Barcelona. At that moment, they noticed a child from the children’s school of the El Ranero sports school who was a killer within the area.”He is a person with a strong character because heAnd fuAnd her Welcome at 12 years old at La Masia and you have to experience that: he’s an athlete who had to grow up very quickly.”

Although it is obvious that he has not matured enough to ignore other considerations, given the judicial process in which he is immersed because a 21-year-old girl, reported him for two aggravated episodes involving the introduction of bodily members. Specifically, for allegedly putting his fingers in her vagina without her consent, both in the swimming pool of Rafa Mir’s chalet in the exclusive Torre urbanization in Conill, and in the bathroom where the victim claims he locked her up against her will.

“I anticipate thatIt’s not even an Alves case This is not a Ponferradina case: here there is no sexual assault, no penetration, no strange stories. “It is a distancing from home and a grudge,” warns this family member. Such statements are consistent with what he expressed. Jaime Campanerdefense lawyer of Rafa Mir and managing partner of the famous Campaner law firm: “It will be obvious that the charge is not sustained.”

This relative insists on branding “opportunistic” the complaint against the striker still from Valencia CF: “They denounce him out of spite“. This person supports this theory with information that was released from the statement made by the central defender of the Third Division: Pablo Jara, personal friend of Rafa Mir, and second instructed in this judicial case because the other girl denounced him. the that they met at the Mya discotheque.

Specifically, a 25-year-old woman, who claims that Pablo touched her buttocks and breasts several times in the Valencia striker’s pool. In addition, in her complaint, she states that the defender hit her to throw her out of the chalet in her underwear, along with her 21-year-old friend. However, Pablo denies the sexual assault and the punch, he even stated before the courts of Llíria that he had thrown the young women out of the house because they they fought among them by jealousy for be with Rafa.

“They took the girls out by force,” the insider said. “But it is no less true that the reason was the refusal of the two men to leave the house voluntarily: very drunk and provocative at all times, to the point of threatening to file a complaint.”They left the house with the prior threat of reporting“.

EL ESPAÑOL confirmed that the footballer “had bride” when he went out partying on the night of Saturday, August 31, after inviting “about three or four friends” from Javalí Nuevo, the town in Murcia where he spent his childhood and where he organizes a football camp every year, to watch the match that Valencia CF played at Mestalla against Villarreal.

The match ended in a draw and Rafa Mir went to the famous Mya Disco, with the former captain of Alcantarilla FC, Pablo Jara, and a friend. In the disco, around six in the morning cubatas mediasRafa Mir met two girls: one aged 25 and another aged 21, with whom he ended up kissing.“They are young and they had a party.”as confirmed by this close friend of the Che attacker.

“It is normal that they partied until that time because they are young, but from that point on, the events they are accused of make no sense,” he insists.Rafa has the women he wants when he wants them. Qprecisely, this is one of the faults that it can have because if he wants to have women, he will have them: he is young, athletic, with money and he does not need to force anyone at all. He is not an idiot at all. He has a good head, he knows what he has accomplished and where he wants to go. “He is not going to risk his career for a crazy evening.”

But the truth is that the last part of the party was very crazy. This newspaper has been able to reconstruct, from leaks from the Civil Guard and judicial sources involved in the trial, what Rafa Mir suggested to the twenty-something girls that they end the party with his two friends in the swimming pool of his chaletlocated in exclusivity Torre à Conil urbanization in Bétera, where major businessmen, other Valencian actors or politicians such as the former Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos, reside.

The footballer (Cartagena, 1997) got into a taxi with the two girls and He allegedly touched the 25-year-old woman’s genitals and even kissed her in front of her 21-year-old friend. with whom he had already kissed in a nightclub. The situation caused tensions between the young women because the 21-year-old allegedly asked the taxi driver to stop the vehicle so she could change into a passenger seat. Upon arriving at the urbanization, Rafa probably had consensual sex with the 25-year-old girl and then appeared at the pool where the other young woman was.

The striker began to joke and have fun with the 21-year-old girl to ease her apparent anger, he even allegedly threw her into the pool to throw Rafa Mir after her himself. Once in the water, they kissed and here the versions differ. The complainant claims that he inserted his fingers into her vagina without her consent and the footballer defends that everything happened by mutual agreement..

Then they ended up in the bathroom and again the stories are antagonistic. She states that she was forced to go to the toilet, even though He locked her up to put his fingers back in her vagina without her permission.. And Rafa Mir asserts before the magistrate Ana Magraner Naya, president of the investigating court number 8 of Llíria, that all sexual touching was consensual.

In fact, he says he found himself in a room kissing this 21-year-old woman, where the 25-year-old girl burst in, start a lively discussion reproach his friend for having this attitude with the footballer knowing that he had already slept with her. It is at this moment that Pablo Jara, Rafa Mir’s friend, enters the scene to throw the two girls out of the chalet because they are putting on a show. “These ones got stuck,” concludes this close friend of the Che forward. “The local police [de Bétera] It was because of a scandal and you will have to tell what happened [en un atestado]”.

The football field

For now, the judge has released Pablo Jara and Rafa Mir as being under investigation. The Valencian footballer has an obligation to appear in court every week, his passport has been taken away so he cannot leave Spain and he has a 500-metre banning order from the victim. His lawyer, Jaime Campaner, is satisfied: “The aim was to avoid preventive detention.. “I did not oppose the precautionary measures.”

The footballer’s close friend is optimistic about the legal proceedings: “He is totally innocent.” Meanwhile, in the Murcian neighborhood of Javalí Nuevo, where Rafa Mir spent his childhood and where every summer he goes to celebrate his children’s football camp, his neighbors are surprised at what could happen.This does not match the Rafa Mir we know.“, said a neighbor. “I’m dead.”

A friend of the attacker’s parents is devastated by the judicial investigation: “I am dismayed because It is extreme pain for those of us who know him.” “A child hurts any parent very much.”

Those who met Rafa Mir when he first started playing a ball also expressed themselves in the same terms: “He was a good boy when he started playing indoor football. I took him to the sports school matches and he became part of a team with Pablo Jara. What happened is something very important. “People are more apologetic than interested about whether they will get their name from the city’s football ground.”

Proof of this is that a former member of the Javalí Nuevo city council confirms to this newspaper that people are holding their breath and No political party has spoken out on the possibility of changing the name of the field. soccer, dedicated to Rafa Mir, in tribute to the silver he won with Spain at the Tokyo Olympics: “Everyone is waiting for the outcome of the judicial process.”
