Spanish football bosses flew to Ibiza to harass star Jenni Hermoso amid Luis Rubiales sexual assault storm, court documents allegeVideos of Spanish soccer player Jenni Hermoso sunbaking on a yacht in Ibiza made global headlines in the days after last year's World Cup final.
Court documents filed by prosecutors in Madrid allege RFEF marketing director Rubén Rivera and women's sports director Albert Luque turned up in Ibiza, but not to join the party. While no one is denying the incident took place — it happened in front of a packed crowd and television audience of millions — there was a fierce debate about whether the kiss was consensual in the days that followed.
All the men deny the allegations, including that they tried to pressure Ms Hermoso into downplaying the kiss and that they harassed the star and her friends and family.The documents allege Mr Rubiales exerted "constant and repeated acts of pressure" on Ms Hermoso, with "the aim of publicly justifying and approving the kiss".
The statement said: "It was a totally spontaneous mutual gesture due to the immense joy of winning a World Cup. The president and I have a great relationship, his behaviour towards us has been excellent and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude".On the flight from Australia to Spain after the match, Mr Rubiales is accused of repeatedly approaching Ms Hermoso to persuade her to make a joint public statement exonerating him for the kiss.
The court documents allege that the defendants' harassment of Ms Hermoso ended when Mr Rubiales was provisionally suspended by the sports global governing body, FIFA, on August 26.If found guilty, the Spanish prosecutor has recommended 18-month prison terms for all four defendants for coercion and an additional year for Mr Rubiales for sexual assault.
