Forcibly kissed by former Spanish football boss Luis Rubiales, world champion Jenni Hermoso was heard by the courts on Tuesday January 2. The international, who has just signed with Mexican club Tigres Femenil, arrived shortly before 10 a.m. (local time) at the National Court in Madrid.
“Everything is now in the hands of justice, that’s all I can say”the player then declared to the press as she left the court, saying laconically that “everything went well”.
According to several Spanish media including El País, El Mundo or Marcathe player repeated in front of the judge that Luis Rubiales’ kiss had not been “at no time agreed”.
Initially scheduled for November 28, the highly anticipated hearing of Hermoso, who filed a complaint against Rubiales in September, was postponed for scheduling reasons. Charged with “sexual assault” and the offense of “coercion”, Luis Rubiales was already heard by the judge in September. He has since been banned from coming within 200 meters of the player.
Three other people, including the former coach of La Roja feminine, Jorge Vilda, were also charged in this case by the investigating judge.
