The Royal Spanish Football Federation has said Luis Rubiales will defend himself legally to prove 'his complete innocence'
He has refused to resign even as the matter has spiraled into a national row over macho behavior, women’s rights and sexual abuse.
“What footballer Jenni Hermoso has experienced should never have happened,” Diaz said in a video statement prior to the meeting. “There is no sexual abuse since there is consent on both sides, as the images prove,” Bejar told EFE. “My son is incapable of hurting anyone.” Gender issues have become a prominent topic in Spain in recent years. Tens of thousands of women have taken part in street marches protesting against sexual abuse and violence, and the Socialist-led coalition government has presided over legal reforms including around equal pay or abortion rights.
