Prosecutor sets out 2.5 year prison sentence for Luis Rubiales for Jenni Hermoso kiss plus three more charges
The public prosecutor in Spain has set out charges against former RFEF President Luis Rubiales for coercion and sexual assault related to his non-consensual kiss of Spain star Jenni Hermoso at the 2023 World Cup.
Rubiales maintains his innocence, but Diario AS report that the court magistrate has advised the prosecutor to seek a 2.5 years sentence for Rubiales. They detailed that the kiss occurred ‘without consent, in a unilateral and surprising manner’.
The sentence would also include a 200m restraining order on Rubiales relating to Hermoso, €50k in damages, two years of probation, a ban from working in sport during the period of the sentence, and a ban on Rubiales speaking to Hermoso. The investigation has ruled that in addition to the sexual assault, Rubiales pressured her in a ‘consistent manner’ to defend him publicly.
