A mum-of-two took her own
life after a sex tape she made five years ago resurfaced. Veronica Rubio, 32,
was found hanged in her home in the town of Alcala de Henares, near Madrid,
after her jealous ex-boyfriend allegedly shared an X-rated video they made when
they were dating in 2014.
Mrs Rubio, who had since married another man and had
two young children, had become upset after the tape was circulated online and
at her workplace. Her unnamed ex-boyfriend, who she worked with at the Iveco
owned CNH Industrial lorry factory in San Fernando de Henares, was apparently
hurt after she rejected him.
Mrs Rubio‘s colleague told
local media: ‘She got very nervous and had to leave the factory because she
could not stand the pressure, not only here but also in her family. ‘She only
wanted the story to move on, for people to stop talking as soon as possible.
She did not think about reporting it.’
Mrs Rubio was said to have
apologised to her husband prior to her taking her own life. She leaves behind a
child, four, and a nine-month old baby. CNH Industrial said it was aware of her
situation and had offered her help. A spokesperson added they had followed
protocol and offered Mrs Rubio a different role and sick leave, which she
apparently rejected.
Its version of events are
disputed by a union at the factory, which is reportedly planning to sue the
company for not activating the sexual harassment protocol. The factory workers
also organised a protest at work over the death. The Spanish Penal Code
punishes those who leak a video without the permission of the person in it with
a prison sentence between three months to one year if it affects their personal
privacy. Police confirmed they were investigating and said no report had been
made about the sex tape. The CNH Industrial lorry factory has 2,500 employees.
