Former Spanish soccer federation chief Luis Rubiales will stand trial for his\u00a0unsolicited kiss\u00a0of national team player Jenni Hermoso after a High Court judge admitted the case, the court said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rubiales faces one count of sexual assault and one of coercion for his alleged actions in the aftermath of the kiss. The offences carry prison terms of one year and 18 months, respectively.
\nThe High Court said it would also try the former coach of the women\u2019s national team, Jorge Vilda, the team\u2019s current sporting director, Albert Luque, and the federation\u2019s head of marketing, Ruben Rivera. All three stand accused of coercing Hermoso into saying the kiss was consensual.
\nRubiales, 46, grabbed Hermoso and kissed her on the lips last Aug. 20 during the awards ceremony after Spain\u2019s victory in the women\u2019s World Cup in Sydney, making global headlines and causing a national debate in Spain about sexism.
\nHermoso and her teammates said the kiss was unwanted and demeaning, but Rubiales argued it was consensual and denied any wrongdoing.
\nThe court set a bail of 65,000 euros ($69,836) for Rubiales\u2019 charge of sexual assault and another 65,000 euros to be posted jointly between Rubiales, Vilda, Luque and Rivera for the coercion charge.
\nThe case falls under the High Court\u2019s jurisdiction because the alleged offences took place abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
