A judge in Spain has ruled Luis Rubiales, Spain's disgraced former soccer federation president, should stand trial for kissing star player Jenni Hermoso without consent during the team's celebration after winning the World Cup.
The consequential ruling was handed down by investigative judge Francisco de Jorge on Thursday after hearings at Spain's high court in Madrid ... where prosecutors and the defense argued for and against criminal charges.
FORCED TO KISS
Ultimately, the judge concluded the August 2023 kiss was "not consensual" and was "carried out unilaterally and in a surprising fashion" and therefore, criminal proceedings can continue against Rubiales.
