“Now everything depends on the legal system,” the 33-year-old said afterwards as she left the State Court in Madrid on Tuesday. Rubiales kissed her on the mouth in front of the cameras at the World Cup medal ceremony in Sydney on August 20, causing a scandal that saw him banned for three years by FIFA and Spain’s Court of Arbitration for Sport and resigning as RFEF boss .
The then association boss continued to maintain that Hermoso had consented to the kiss. However, the player already complained that at the award ceremony she felt ‘the victim of an impulsive, sexist and inappropriate act that I did not agree with’.
The responsible examining magistrate, Francisco de Jorge, has already heard numerous witnesses, including several players from the Spanish World Cup team. He must decide whether Rubiales will be put in the dock. According to experts, the 46-year-old risks a prison sentence of up to four years.
In the meantime, Hermoso has found a new club. The 33-year-old moves from CF Pachuca to multiple champions Tigres Feminil in the Mexican league. The footballer and the club announced this on social media. (SDA)
