Luis Rubiales, the former head of Spain's football federation, was found guilty of sexual assault for kissing player Jenni Hermoso without consent and fined €10,800. He was acquitted of coercion charges. The incident occurred during the medal ceremony after Spain's victory in the 2023 World Cup, leading to protests and calls for his resignation. Rubiales plans to appeal the verdict, which includes a one-year ban from contacting Hermoso. The case has sparked a movement against sexism in women's football.
