Spain women’s national team player goes to court over kiss by president
SPAIN, Madrid Spain women’s national women team player, Jenni Hermoso has filed a legal complaint over the kiss by Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales, it has been reported.
Rubiales kissed Hermoso on the lips after Spain’s World Cup final win, which she says was not consensual.
The complaint means the 46-year-old could face criminal charges.
On 29 August, Spanish prosecutors opened a preliminary investigation into whether the incident amounts to a crime of sexual assault.
At the time, Spain’s top criminal court said it was opening its investigation in light of the “unequivocal nature” of 33-year-old Hermoso’s statements, saying it was necessary “to determine their legal significance”.
“Given the public statements made by Jennifer Hermoso, the sexual act she was subjected to by Luis Rubiales was not consensual,” a statement said.
It added that legal experts would also contact her “to offer her the option of legal action, giving her the chance to contact National Court prosecutors within 15 days for information about her rights as a victim of an alleged sexual assault should she wish to file a complaint”.
The statement added: “In order to proceed with a case for sexual assault, harassment or sexual abuse, it will be necessary for the injured party or their legal representative to file suit, or the public prosecutors’ office.”\
