Luis Rubiales Fined For Kissing Span Footballer, Jenni Hermoso

Spain's High Court on Thursday said it had found former football federation boss, Luis Rubiales guilty of sexual assault for kissing Spain forward Jenni Hermoso without her consent.

The court set a fine of over 10,000 euros 10,434.00, but acquitted Rubiales of coercion.

Recall that prosecutors had sought a prison sentence for Rubiales in a case that sparked a debate in Spain about sexism in women's football.

However, the court in a statement today, said: "The ruling bans Rubiales from going within a 200-meter 656-foot radius of Hermoso and from communicating with her for one year.

Rubiales was accused of sexual assault for kissing Hermoso on the mouth in 2023.
