Overview

• Jennifer Hermoso testified that the non-consensual kiss from Luis Rubiales during the Women's World Cup medal ceremony caused her 'disgust and repulsion,' overshadowing her team's victory.
• Hermoso detailed the harassment and threats she endured following the incident, including being followed by cameras and receiving death threats, which led her to leave Madrid with her family.
• Rubiales, who has denied the allegations and claimed the kiss was consensual, faces charges of sexual aggression and coercion, with prosecutors seeking a 2.5-year prison sentence and a €50,000 fine.
• Three former Spanish football federation officials are also accused of coercion for allegedly pressuring Hermoso to downplay the incident and avoid incriminating Rubiales.
• The trial, which began in Madrid, will feature hearings for Rubiales and other defendants from February 12 to 19, with a verdict expected in the following weeks.
