Rubiales could now face criminal charges.
Hermoso formalised her complaint in person at the headquarters of the State Attorney General’s Office on Tuesday.
The Prosecutor’s Office had received several complaints from the Spanish publicagainst Rubiales over the kiss during the World Cup final celebrations last month but could not act until Hermoso herself filed a complaint.Hermoso has repeatedly denied Rubiales’ claim that the kiss was consensual.
‘I felt vulnerable and the victim of an aggression, an impulsive, machista [chauvinistic] act, out of place and without any consent on my part. Simply put, I was not respected.” ‘I want to reiterate that I do not have to support the person who has committed this action against my will, without respecting me, in a historic moment for me and for women’s sport in this country.’
