Hermoso files legal complaint over Women’s WC final kiss

Jenni Hermoso has filed a legal complaint over the kiss by Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales.

Rubiales kissed Hermoso on the lips after Spain’s World Cup (WC) final win, which she said was not consensual.

Rubiales claims the kiss was “mutual and “consensual”, but has been provisionally suspended by football’s world governing body FIFA.

The complaint means the 46-year-old could face criminal charges.

On 29 August, Spanish prosecutors opened a preliminary investigation into whether the incident amounts to a crime of sexual assault.
