In a stunning development, Luis Rubiales, the former head of the Spanish Football Federation, is currently under investigation for allegations of sexual assault and coercion. The investigation stems from an unwanted kiss that Rubiales allegedly gave to a female colleague, Hermoso, following Spain's triumph in the Women's World Cup last August.
Hermoso, who has long denied that the kiss was consensual, courageously came forward to report the incident, despite facing threats and a lack of respect for her statement. The investigation has now reached a critical juncture after Hermoso recently attended a hearing related to the case.
