In a surprising turn of events, a Spanish judge has suggested that the disgraced former head of Spanish football, Luis Rubiales, should face trial for the controversial kiss he forced upon World Cup star Jenni Hermoso.
Judge Francisco de Jorge, after conducting a thorough preliminary investigation, has declared that the kiss in question “was not consensual and was a unilateral and unexpected move” on the part of Rubiales. This unexpected twist adds to the charges the former football chief is already facing, including sexual assault and coercion.
The incident, which took place during the Women’s World Cup final, has stirred significant controversy and led to Rubiales’ suspension. The legal proceedings that may follow promise to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding this unsolicited kiss that has sent shockwaves through the world of Spanish football.
