Luis Rubiales claims Jenni Hermoso agreed to World Cup kiss

Luis Rubiales is standing trial for alleged sexual assault after kissing Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso on the mouth during a medal ceremony in August 2023. He claims that Hermoso gave him explicit consent to kiss her, stating that he asked her permission before the kiss. However, Hermoso has said that she did not have consent to be kissed, and prosecutors are seeking a two-and-a-half year prison sentence for Rubiales. The trial is ongoing, with Rubiales denying the charges and insisting that the kiss was consensual.
