Spain's former football boss on trial over World Cup kiss

Luis Rubiales, the former president of Spain's football federation, is set to appear in court on Monday to face trial for allegedly committing sexual assault and coercion against Jenni Hermoso, a Spanish football player. The incident occurred nearly a year and a half ago, when Rubiales kissed Hermoso without her consent, leading to allegations of sexual assault. Prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence of two and a half years, while Rubiales denies any wrongdoing. Hermoso has become a symbol of the fight against sexism in sports following the incident. The trial is scheduled to take place in Madrid.
