Up until now, the case has been handled by an investigative judge.<\/p>\n<p>Hermoso lodged a criminal complaint of sexual assault and coercion in September over the kiss on the winners\u2019 podium on August 20, 2023, saying she felt \u201cvulnerable and a victim of an aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The case shocked the sporting world and sparked a MeToo movement in Spain, with protests and further accusations by women that prominent or powerful men had forced intimacy on them.<\/p>\n<p>In Spain, the social media hashtag #SeAcabo (\u201cIt\u2019s over\u201d) became a rallying cry.<\/p>\n<p>Beside the kiss itself, the judge found evidence Rubiales and the co-defendants may have committed a related offence in their coordinated action to make Hermoso \u201crecord a video in which she would say the kiss was consensual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hermoso refused and eventually filed the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Rubiales resigned as Spanish FA chief in September and is no longer working in the sport as he serves a three-year FIFA ban from all football-related activities, while Vilda was appointed as Morocco\u2019s women\u2019s national team head coach in October.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FLASHBACK: Jenni Hermoso celebrates with Luis Rubiales after the match \u00a0 A Spanish High Court judge proposed on Thursday that former football federation chief Luis Rubiales stand trial for kissing player Jenni Hermoso\u2019s lips after Spain\u2019s victory in the Women\u2019s World Cup.
