A prosecutor at Spain's High Court is seeking a prison sentence of 2-1/2 years for former football federation (RFEF) chief Luis Rubiales over his unsolicited kiss on player Jenni Hermoso. The court documents revealed that Rubiales has been charged with one count of sexual assault and one of coercion for his alleged actions in the aftermath of the kiss.
The incident occurred on August 20 last year during the awards ceremony after Spain's victory in the Women's World Cup in Sydney. Rubiales, 46, grabbed Hermoso and kissed her on the lips, which she and her teammates described as unwanted and demeaning. Rubiales, however, claimed the kiss was consensual.
