A Spanish judge proposed that disgraced former Spanish football chief, Luis Rubiales be tried over the kiss he forced on Women’s World Cup star, Jenni Hermoso.
In a ruling following his preliminary investigation, Judge Francisco de Jorge concluded that the kiss “was not consensual and was a unilateral and unexpected move” by Rubiales who is facing charges of sexual assault and coercion.
Critics had knocked the Spanish FA boss over the kiss incident.
FIFA announced in October 2023 that it had imposed a three-year ban on Rubiales.
Months earlier, after back and forth dragging, Rubiales resigned following fierce criticism for kissing Hermoso on the lips at the Women’s World Cup victory ceremony.
