Luis Rubiales has repeatedly insisted the act was consensual.
FIVE DAYS after resigning as Spain’s football chief, Luis Rubiales is due in court Friday on sexual assault charges over forcibly kissing women’s World Cup player Jenni Hermoso.
Rubiales, who was head of Spain’s RFEF football federation at the time, has repeatedly insisted the kiss was consensual.Hermoso has said it was not and that it left her feeling like the “victim of an assault”. If found guilty, Rubiales could face anything from a fine to four years in prison, sources at the public prosecutors’ office have said.
“What we had is a spontaneous act, a mutual act, an act that both consented to, which was driven by the emotion of the moment,” he said, describing the kiss as “100% non-sexual”.
