World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso has confronted Spain’s former football federation boss Luis Rubiales in court, saying she did not agree to the kiss that has led to his trial on assault and coercion charges.
The trial, which began on Monday, could lead to him facing a prison sentence of up to four years if he is found guilty of kissing forward Ms Hermoso, 34, without consent after Spain’s victory at the Fifa Women’s World Cup final in 2023. The trial is expected to last until 19 February.
