In the sexual assault trial, Spanish prosecutors are requesting a nine-year prison term for Dani Alves.

MADRID (AP) — Brazilian soccer player Dani Alves is being prosecuted for allegedly sexually abusing a woman last year, and a Spanish court heard evidence on Thursday.

The prosecution is asking for a nine-year prison term.  Alves is scheduled to go on trial for allegedly assaulting the lady on December 30 at a nightclub in Barcelona.

An investigative judge in August had indicted him, and this month the court declared there was sufficient evidence to begin a trial. The hearings’ date was not yet confirmed. The former Barcelona defender has maintained that he had consensual sex with the complainant and has denied any wrongdoing.

In addition, the prosecution demands that Alves give the victim damages totaling 150,000 euros ($163,000) and forbid him from communicating with her for a further ten years.

In addition, they want that Alves be under supervision for ten years upon his release from jail. According to Spanish law, if found guilty, Alves would not be allowed to work with minors in any capacity for ten years following his sentence.

The charge of sexual assault includes a wide range of offenses, from rape to internet bullying and groping, and each has a separate potential sentence under Spain’s new sexual consent law. A maximum term of 15 years may be imposed in a rape case.  The 40-year-old Alves was taken into custody following

an initial police inquiry, and he has been housed in pre-trial custody since January.  Alves’s bail requests have all been turned down by the court because they believe he poses a flight risk. While he awaited the court’s ruling, the footballer had offered to turn in his passports and wear a tracking device.
