The much-publicized trial of the former coach of Spain's women's national soccer team has come to a close. Luis Rubiales is accused of kissing a player, allegedly without her consent, after a big win at the 2023 Women's World Cup. Rubiales has maintained that the kiss, on TV in front of soccer fans worldwide, was consensual. The player, Jennifer Hermoso, says she never agreed to a kiss on the lips.
