Antonio Luna sex tape: Star dropped and woman files complaint after X-rated threesome video is leaked online
Spaniard caught up in sex scandal with teammate Sergi Enrich which has shocked the country but insists tape was leaked
A FORMER Aston Villa player has been dropped by his current team after a sex tape featuring him in a trio with a team-mate and an unidentified women went viral.
Antonio Luna, now with Spanish La Liga side SD Eibar, and pal Sergi Enrich were quickly identified by fans after the X-rated video ended up on social media - and newspaper AS claims the woman has now filed a complaint 'for the damage to her image' after the clip was released without her consent.
The pair insisted today the footage, which showed them in the full throes of sex with a mystery brunette, had been made public without their consent.
But they admitted that as professional footballers, they were expected to set an example to children.
Most Spanish newspapers steered clear of publishing the video, despite the fact it was still doing the rounds on Twitter and images featuring forward Sergi Enrich hard at work off-the-pitch were posted onto YouTube.
The players released a joint statement as part of a damage limitation exercise after being told their trio had gone viral on the
Internet which said: “We want to state that the video shows a recording of a private act which took place between fully consenting adults, within the scope of the freedoms we all enjoy.
“We deeply regret that an indiscretion for which we are not responsible has led to these images being published without our knowledge or, far less, our consent.
“We likewise regret the potential damage not only to our image but in particular to that of our club, whose colours we represent, and that it could have offended our supporters and the city of Eibar in general.
“We are aware that professional footballers should set an example in every walk of life, especially to children; this being the reason we apologise if this incident has caused harm to anyone.
“Equally, we want to apologise for the damage the circulation of this video could cause to the third person involved in the video.
“We wish to stress that, as SD Eibar players, an exemplary club that represents a set of fans and a city equally exemplary, we stand by the values that have been shown to us since we arrived in Eibar. “We hope this incident does not in any way harm the image of the club, nor that of our team-mates.”
Luna and Enrich have now been left out of Eibar's squad to face Leganes tonight, and there could be further punishment down the line.
The circumstances in which the video was leaked have not been revealed.
Left back Antonio Luna was signed by Aston Villa in June 2013. He started and scored on his Premier League debut with the club, a 3-1 win at Arsenal on August 17 2013.
He was sold to Basque-based side SD Eibar after two loan spells at Italian clubs.
Aston Villa fans nicknamed Luna Tony Moon, a direct translation of his name from Spanish into English.
One fan said last night: “He’s likely to get called other things from now on.”
Eibar went eighth in La Liga last weekend with a historic draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
They ended up taking over the jacuzzi after taking a point against the Spanish giants for the first time at Real Madrid’s famous stadium in Eibar’s 76-year history.
