Spanish footballer David Villa, now 38, has been accused of sexual harassment by a former intern, Skyler Badillo who was 20 when she interned with the New York City FC.

Skyler alleged Villa repeatedly told her he loved her, touched her inappropriately and that her bosses did not take her complaints seriously. She added that he offered her alcohol though she hadn't touched the legal age of drinking in the United States, i.e, 21.

She said in an interview with The Atlantic, "I thought I was getting the opportunity of a lifetime when I got that internship. What I got was David Villa touching me every f***ing day and my bosses thinking it was great comedic material."

Skyler also recounted another incident where Villa pressed her into the counter with his hands on her hips.

A spokesperson for the footballer denied the accusation and released a statement that read:  "While David has never faced this type of issue before, he appreciates the seriousness of this matter and believes it is important to encourage people to speak out about their concerns.

When David first learned of this situation two years after he had already left the team, he fully cooperated with the investigation and as he has said from the beginning – any allegations of inappropriate behavior are untrue."

Earlier, the club launched an investigation into the matter and released a statement, without naming anyone that read: "A small number of players and staff did not act in accordance with the club’s standards in their interactions with the intern and with other club staff.

This behavior included unnecessary physical contact, teasing, and comments regarding clothing and appearance. The club found that this behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable.”
