The Public Ministry has formally accused Rubiales, the disgraced former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation , of sexual assault for kissing Hermoso “without consent or acceptance,” according to an indictment seen by CNN. The kiss was televised globally and the scandal overshadowed a historic moment for Spain’s women’s team which was celebrating its first-ever World Cup win.
CNN is trying to reach the defense of the accused and Hermoso’s lawyer for comment. Rubiales and the other three accused have each denied the charges against them in prior testimony, the court’s prosecution service said in earlier statements following their respective hearings. Public outcry to the unwanted kiss, and Rubiales’ staunch defense of it, has come from every sphere of Spanish society, including from politicians and sports stars.
