Luis Rubiales found guilty of sexual assault of Jenni Hermoso - ESPN

Spain's High Court said on Thursday it had found former football federation boss Luis Rubiales guilty of kissing player Jenni Hermoso without her consent and set a fine of over €10,000 ($10,434.00), but acquitted him of coercion.

Prosecutors had sought a prison sentence for Rubiales in a case that sparked a debate in Spain about sexism in women's football and wider Spanish society.

«The ruling bans Rubiales from going within a 200-meter radius of Hermoso and from communicating with her for one year,» the court said in a statement.

Rubiales, 47, was accused of sexual assault for kissing Hermoso on the mouth. He was also accused — along with three other former soccer federation officials — of attempting to then coerce her into saying the kiss, at the 2023 World Cup awards ceremony in Sydney, was consensual.

A lawyer for Hermoso was not immediately available for comment.
