Luis Rubiales is on trial for sexual assault following a controversial kiss with Jenni Hermoso during the 2023 Women's World Cup trophy presentation. His defense claims she consented, asserting there was no sexual intent, while Hermoso's legal team argues the kiss was unsolicited and illustrative of sexual assault. Closing arguments continue, with the possibility of a verdict next week. The case has raised significant discussions about consent and the implications of unsolicited actions, making it a focal point of social outrage in Spain and beyond.
There was no sexual intent by Rubiales," defense lawyer Olga Tubau said. "After everything that has been shown, he should be acquitted... I think there are objective doubts that need to be taken into consideration.
We can see the images of the sexual assault," lawyer Ángela Chavarría said. "There is no margin for reaction. Hermoso never heard him ask for a kiss. She did not agree to it.
