Balanced News: Player accuses Spain’s soccer chief of sexual assault for unwanted kiss

Spanish soccer player Jenni Hermoso has accused Luis Rubiales, the now-suspended president of the Spanish soccer federation, of sexual assault for kissing her on the lips without her consent after the Women’s World Cup final. Rubiales has insisted the kiss was consensual, but Hermoso and her players’ union deny this. Rubiales could face a fine or a prison sentence of one to four years if found guilty under a sexual consent law passed last year. The Spanish government, players’ unions, players, and citizens have shown support for Hermoso, while Rubiales has become a soccer outcast.
