MADRID : A Spanish High Court judge proposed on Thursday that former football federation chief Luis Rubiales stand trial over the kiss he planted on player Jenni Hermoso's lips after Spain's victory in the Women's World Cup.
Spanish World Cup winning star Jenni Hermoso has begun testifying in court about disgraced former Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales kissing her at the Women's World Cup trophy ceremony.
Jenni Hermoso was summoned Wednesday by the judge investigating the events surrounding the then Spanish federation chief Luis Rubiales kissing her at the Women's World Cup final trophy ceremony. Rubiales eventually resigned over the issue -- he insisted the kiss post Spain winning the trophy in Australia in August was consensual -- and is being investigated for alleged sexual assault and coercion. Judge Francisco de Jorge, leading the investigation against Rubiales, summoned Hermoso on Tuesday November 28 at 1030GMT "in person", the National Court said in a brief statement. Hermoso, 33, reported the incident to the courts in early September. Currently he is banned from being within 200 metres of Hermoso. Former women's national team coach Jorge Vilda, the director of the men's national team, Albert Luque, and the RFEF's marketing director are also under investigation for allegedly pressuring Hermoso.
Bonmati succeeded her international teammate Alexia Putellas as winner of the prize after inspiring Spain to glory at the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year.
