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.
