Luis Rubiales To Face Trial For Unwanted World Cup Kiss, Judge Confirms
Disgraced former Spanish football federation (RFEF) chief Luis Rubiales will stand trial for his forcible kiss on the lips of Women's World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso, a Spanish high court judge decided Wednesday. "(Rubiales will be tried) for the non-consensual kissing of Spanish national team player Jennifer Hermoso at the end of the World Cup final in Sydney on August 20 (2023), and for the subsequent coercion exerted to make her say publicly that it was consensual," the court said in a statement outlining the allegations.
