Spanish prosecutor files high court complaint against Luis Rubiales

Complaint cites concerns that kiss planted on footballer Jenni Hermoso could constitute sexual assault

A prosecutor has filed a complaint with Spain's high court against Luis Rubiales, citing concerns that there could be grounds to charge the football chief with sexual assault as well as coercion, after he planted a kiss on the lips of footballer Jenni Hermoso.

The complaint, which comes days after Hermoso filed a criminal complaint accusing Rubiales of sexual assault, requests that the court place Rubiales under formal investigation. From there, the court can decide whether charges are warranted against Rubiales.
