[News] Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso files complaint against FA president Luis Rubiales over ‘unsolicited kiss’ at Women’s World Cup

Spanish footballer,  Jenni Hermoso has filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office over an “unsolicited kiss” by Spanish FA chief Luis Rubiales following the Women’s World Cup final.

 

The Spanish footballer is accusing the football boss of sexual assault after she was kissed on the lips following Spain’s 1-0 victory over England on 20 August.

Hermoso has repeatedly said it was not consensual, but a defiant Rubiales has refused to resign and the ensuing controversy has overshadowed Spain’s historic win.

Prosecutors said last week that they were going to meet with Hermoso to give her the opportunity to present an accusation against Rubiales and now say accusation was made by Hermoso on Tuesday, September 5.
