MADRID, Sept 15 ― Former Spanish soccer chief Luis Rubiales will appear before a High Court judge today over a complaint of sexual assault stemming from his allegedly unsolicited kiss on the lips of player Jenni Hermoso ― an incident that has triggered a furore over sexism in Spanish sport and society.
Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz has called his actions “shameful” and said they showed that male chauvinism was still systemic in Spanish society. Judge Francisco de Jorge is in charge of an investigation that has to precede any formal charges under Spanish law, and will decide whether the case will go to trial. If it does, he could face between one and four years imprisonment.
