Spain’s High Court has ruled that former soccer federation boss Luis Rubiales is guilty of kissing player Jenni Hermoso without her consent. The court has imposed a fine of over 10,000 euros ($10,434.00) on Rubiales for this offense. However, he has been acquitted of the charge of coercion.
The prosecutors had initially sought a prison sentence for Rubiales, but the court's decision ultimately resulted in a monetary penalty. The case highlights the importance of respecting boundaries and obtaining consent in all interactions, including those within the sports industry.
