Luis Rubiales faces 30 month jail sentence for Jenni Hermoso kiss
Spanish prosecutors have issued two charges against Luis Rubiales for kissing Jenni Hermoso after the Women’s World Cup final
Luis Rubiales could face a prison sentence of two and a half years if convicted of kissing Jenni Hermoso on the lips against her will, court documents have shown. The former Spanish football federation chief has been charged with one count of sexual assault and one of coercion in the aftermath of the kiss, offences carrying jail terms of one year and 18 months respectively.
The 46-year-old grabbed Hermoso and kissed her on the lips on 20 August during the awards ceremony after Spain beat England in the Women’s World Cup final in Sydney, sparking global outrage and causing a national debate in Spain about sexism. Hermoso and her teammates said the kiss was unwanted and demeaning, but Rubiales argued it was consensual and denied any wrongdoing.
30 months?
For a kiss?
You're goddamned right.
Keep it to yourself, fucking creep.
Edit: Everyone move to the sidewalks, the anti-woke parade is marching through with their cute little batons and hats and the giant balloon mascots of their precious egos.
€50k to the victim feels not enough
I don't know about that. Seems grossly disproportionate, some sort of professional disciplinary action would be more appropriate. Perhaps a fine he'd notice paying. It doesn't seem like a sexual thing, just an excitement thing, I really don't know whether you can pin in on sexism. Like, would I kiss a guy out of joy? Potentially yes, in this context, if I knew them well. Was it stupid? Also yes. If he squeezed her arse at the same time, I feel that would then be assault. But maybe not if you were to squeeze a guy's arse in the same context? Also, if they were Italian I wonder if we'd be having this discussion.
It's not the physical moves at all in this judgement. He threatened her to say it was consensual afterward, that is the most damning thing about this incident.
And then he wanted to remain in charge even after the team said they wouldn't play with him there. The last thing is not a crime, however it does show how power hungry and short sighted the guy is.
Had he just made an apology instead of a threat this whole thing would be very different.
No.
Dodgy dude full of himself by all accounts apparently. Who knows what he and his buddies have been doing off camera.

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss...
Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
and it's all in my head
but they're getting their cuffs now
I think my luck has run out.
Let me goooo
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Luis Rubiales could face a prison sentence of two and a half years if convicted of kissing Jenni Hermoso on the lips against her will, court documents have shown.
The former Spanish football federation chief has been charged with one count of sexual assault and one of coercion in the aftermath of the kiss, offences carrying jail terms of one year and 18 months respectively.
The indictment said the three officials harassed Hermoso by exerting “constant and repeated acts of pressure” directly on the player and through her friends and family.
Spain’s criminal code allows judges to “exceptionally” suspend jail terms if – as in this case – none of the sentences imposed individually exceeds two years.
Police were also reported to have raided an apartment in Granada belonging to Rubiales, who was banned from all football activity for three years in October over his misconduct at the World Cup final.
The RFEF issued a statement on Wednesday confirming its management commission will now examine “any type of contract that may be under suspicion due to the actions of its former president, Luis Rubiales.

So they want to get him off the street as the violent criminal he is?
What a joke...
