“I have no problem talking” – Rafa Mir speaks for the first time since he was accused of sexual assault

Earlier this week, Valencia striker Rafa Mir was arrested after allegations of sexual assault were made against him. He has since been released, but with precautionary measures – including the seizure of his passport – being put in place.

The incident in question happened on Saturday night, after Valencia drew 1-1 with Villarreal at the Mestalla. Mir came on as a second-half substitute in that one, and less than 24 hours later, he was caught by the authorities after the complaint was filed.

Mir has now spoken for the first time since his arrest. He told La Sexta (via Sport) who intends to give his part of the story soon.

“I'm fine. I'll talk when it's my turn to talk. You know I have no problem talking.”

The matter is not being investigated by the relevant authorities, and Mir is expected to return to training with Valencia in the coming days.
