Spanish striker Rafa Mir has been officially sentenced to eight and a half years in prison following a definitive ruling on charges of aggravated sexual assault and causing bodily injury.

The legal proceedings stemmed from an incident that occurred in September 2024. At the time of his initial arrest, the forward was playing for Valencia on loan from Sevilla, who subsequently suspended him.

The court’s severe ruling concludes a high-profile legal battle that effectively ends the 28-year-old’s professional football career.

Mir, a former Spanish youth international who also had a stint with English club Wolverhampton Wanderers, had consistently denied the allegations.

However, judges found the evidence regarding the September 2024 events substantial enough to warrant the lengthy, aggravated custodial sentence.
