Former Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales has been found guilty of sexually assaulting Spain player Jenni Hermoso after the 2023 Women’s World Cup final.
Rubiales kissed Hermoso on the lips without her consent after Spain’s victory in Sydney and must pay a fine worth more than £8,000.
The 47-year-old was acquitted of coercion and will avoid prison, despite prosecutors pursuing a custodial sentence.
He must also not go within 200 metres of Hermoso for a year, and avoid contacting her for the same period. He is able to appeal the sentence.
Hermoso, who now plays for Mexican side Tigres, said the kiss tainted “one of the happiest days” of her life and that she “never” agreed to it.
However Rubiales had maintained the kiss was consensual, telling the court: “I am absolutely sure that she gave me her permission.
“In that moment it was something completely spontaneous.”
