Trial of Former Spanish Football Chief Luis Rubiales Begins Over Unwanted Kiss

The trial of Luis Rubiales, former president of the Spanish Football Federation, commenced as Jenni Hermoso testified that a kiss he gave her was unwanted and disrespectful. Hermoso described how Rubiales did not seek her consent and that the incident marred her joy after winning the Women's World Cup. He faces charges of sexual assault and coercion, potentially resulting in a prison sentence. Prosecutors and Hermoso are seeking a two-and-a-half year sentence, alongside 50,000 euros in damages, prompting widespread discussions on sexism in sports. The trial continues with numerous witnesses expected to testify.
