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.

    Did you even bother reading further or does your brain only have capacity for that single sentence?

    Edit: I’m feeling generous so I’ll help you:

    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.

    Hermoso and her teammates said the kiss was unwanted and demeaning, but Rubiales argued it was consensual and denied any wrongdoing.

    I’ll break this down for you. Two scenarios.

    Scenario#1 (where it could have gone):

    • Rubiales kisses Hermoso (does not look consensual)
    • Rubiales profusely apologizes in the aftermath and shows genuine remorse for his actions without spewing shit
    • He gets a fine and a slap on the wrist

    Scenario#2 (where it went):

    • Rubiales kisses Hermoso (does not look consensual)
    • Hermoso says it was unwanted
    • Rubiales contradicts
    • Rubiales doubles down, gaslights
    • His team wants him to step down
    • Rubiales throws a tantrum

    Admitting when you are wrong or did something wrong is manly. Rubiales is a powerhungry psychopath.
