Balanced News: Luis Rubiales resigns as Spain’s soccer federation president

Luis Rubiales, the suspended president of the Spanish soccer federation, has announced his resignation following allegations of sexual assault by soccer player Jenni Hermoso. Rubiales was accused of kissing Hermoso without her consent during a Women’s World Cup awards ceremony. Spanish state prosecutors have filed a lawsuit against Rubiales for sexual assault and coercion. Rubiales had initially refused to step down and dismissed the allegations as a “witch hunt” by “false feminists.” If found guilty, he could face a fine or a prison sentence of one to four years. Many have shown support for Hermoso.
