Spanish prosecutor Marta Durantez Gil has filed a lawsuit against the suspended president of the Spanish Football Association, Luis Rubiales, for sexual assault and coercion, which is punishable under Spanish law from a fine to four years in prison, the BBC reports today.
Rubiales kissed national team player Jenny Hermoso on the mouth after Spain won the Women's World Cup final, and she previously said the kiss was not consensual, which Rubiales disputed.
On Wednesday, September 6, Hermoso filed a complaint against Rubiales for sexual assault, and prosecutor Marta Durantez Gil added a charge of coercion before the Superior Court.

The prosecution's statement said Hermoso told Gil that her relatives were under pressure from Rubiales and his "professional entourage" to say that she "justified and approved what happened."
"Prosecutors request that Luis Rubiales be heard as the accused, and Jenny Hermoso as the victim," said the prosecution, which also requested information from the authorities in Australia, where the incident took place.
Rubiales refused to step down as president of the Spanish Football Association after the incident, claiming "social assassination" was at work.
The World Football Federation (FIFA) temporarily suspended Rubiales and initiated disciplinary proceedings against him.
