The Spanish prosecutor’s office has said Hermoso’s testimony would be processed “as soon as possible”. Under a recently passed sexual consent law, Rubiales could face a fine or between one and four years in prison if found guilty of sexual assault, it added., Hermoso said it had left her feeling “vulnerable and a victim of aggression”.
She described the kiss as an “impulsive act, sexist, out of place and without any type of consent from my part”. Rubiales announced on Monday he had decided to step down as the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation and as a Uefa vice-president. “After the rapid suspension by Fifa, and the rest of the proceedings against me, it’s clear that I cannot return to my post,” he said in a statement.
