Disgraced former Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales facing two-and-a-half years in prison over Jenni Hermoso kiss scandal

The former Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) president grabbed and kissed Hermoso following Spain's Women's World Cup final win against England last year. Hermoso denied giving Rubiales consent and he was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/luis-rubiales-appeal-fifa-three-year-ban-rfef-president-jenni-hermoso-kiss-scandal/blt52f2ce9c88d3e54a" target="_blank">subsequently suspended by FIFA</a> and was replaced at the head of the governing body, despite <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jenni-hermoso-lying-luis-rubiales-denial-women-world-cup-final-sexual-assault-rfef-president-judges-no-crime/bltc6add19869dcd8a6" target="_blank">protesting his innocence</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/consensual-spanish-fa-chief-luis-rubiales-refuses-resign-kissing-womens-world-cup-winner-jenni-hermoso-hits-false-feminism/bltc882d01d74398dcf" target="_blank">refusing to step down</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The prosecutors' office in Spain has now requested he serve one year in prison for sexual assault and another 18 months for a charge of coercion. The request also calls for him to be prohibited from contacting Hermoso or coming within a 200-metre radius of her for four years.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Rubiales is not the only figure facing jail time. RFEF directors Albert Luque and Ruben Rivera and then-Spain women head coach Jorge Vilda are also facing a year-and-a-half in prison for coercion, having allegedly attempted to convince Hermoso to calm tensions around the president. Furthermore, Rubiales must compensate Hermoso with €50,000 for the alleged crime of sexual assault, while he and the other three individuals will also have to pay her another €50,000 for coercion.

DID YOU KNOW?

The charge related to the Hermoso incident is not the only legal trouble Rubiales currently faces.
