Former Spanish Soccer Boss Luis Rubiales Found Guilty of Sexual Assault
ai generated text
Luis Rubiales, the former football chief of Spain, has been convicted of sexual assault over a forced kiss he gave to Jenni Hermoso, a star player on the Spanish women's national team, after Spain won the 2023 Women's World Cup.
I think the important thing here is to underline that a non-consensual kiss is a sexual assault.
The Judge understands that, in view of the magnitude of the assault, a kiss, that it is a sporadic act of the accused, and that he does not require special rehabilitation for the crime, the pecuniary penalty must be chosen, which is less serious than the custodial sentence.
This action of kissing a woman on the lips has a clear sexual connotation and is not the way people greet those with whom they are not in an emotional relationship.
I am absolutely sure that she gave me her permission.
It was spontaneous. I behaved like a sportsperson, like I was one more member of the team. I should have been more cold-blooded and adopted a more institutional role.
I'm a world champion but it seems that even to this day my life has been on standby.
I knew I was being kissed by my boss and that should not happen in any social or work environment.
I felt disrespected. One of the happiest days of my life was tarnished.
