The 33-year-old has maintained his innocence and says he 'absolutely denies' that his hand 'touched the parakeet's breasts'.
A Spanish footballer has been convicted of sexually assaulting a woman dressed as a mascot before a La Liga game. Hugo Mallo, who was playing for Celta Vigo at the time, inappropriately touched her breasts while she was wearing a parakeet costume for rival team Espanyol, a court in Barcelona has ruled. The incident took place in 2019 as the footballers lined up before kick-off. Mallo, 33, was fined €6,000 by the judge and ordered to pay €1,000 in damages to the victim.
According to Spanish media reports, Judge Salvador Roi Tejedor said in his ruling: 'Upon reaching the height of the victim, disguised as a parakeet, the accused, with the intention of satisfying his libidinous desire and of undermining the sexual indemnity of the same, put his hands under the costume and touched her breasts, forcing the victim to step back and push the accused away with her right hand.
