Luis Rubiales faces 30 month jail sentence for Jenni Hermoso kiss
Luis Rubiales could face a prison sentence of two and a half years if convicted of kissing Jenni Hermoso on the lips against her will, court documents have shown. The former Spanish football federation chief has been charged with one count of sexual assault and one of coercion in the aftermath of the kiss, offences carrying jail terms of one year and 18 months respectively.
The 46-year-old grabbed Hermoso and kissed her on the lips on 20 August during the awards ceremony after Spain beat England in the Women’s World Cup final in Sydney, sparking global outrage and causing a national debate in Spain about sexism. Hermoso and her teammates said the kiss was unwanted and demeaning, but Rubiales argued it was consensual and denied any wrongdoing.
30 months?
For a kiss?
You're goddamned right.
Keep it to yourself, fucking creep.
Edit: Everyone move to the sidewalks, the anti-woke parade is marching through with their cute little batons and hats and the giant balloon mascots of their precious egos.
€50k to the victim feels not enough
I don't know about that. Seems grossly disproportionate, some sort of professional disciplinary action would be more appropriate. Perhaps a fine he'd notice paying. It doesn't seem like a sexual thing, just an excitement thing, I really don't know whether you can pin in on sexism. Like, would I kiss a guy out of joy? Potentially yes, in this context, if I knew them well. Was it stupid? Also yes. If he squeezed her arse at the same time, I feel that would then be assault. But maybe not if you were to squeeze a guy's arse in the same context? Also, if they were Italian I wonder if we'd be having this discussion.
It's not the physical moves at all in this judgement. He threatened her to say it was consensual afterward, that is the most damning thing about this incident.
And then he wanted to remain in charge even after the team said they wouldn't play with him there. The last thing is not a crime, however it does show how power hungry and short sighted the guy is.
Had he just made an apology instead of a threat this whole thing would be very different.
So, it's Ok for a man to kiss a woman without consent as long as they are celebrating something? I just want to make sure I've got your permission to start snogging marathon runners. Or should I go to an Italian marathon, since nationality seems to play a role in consent in your mind.
30 months is disproportionate for sexually harassing/assaulting an employee? Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
And yes, that's what that was. An unsolicited kiss is absolutely sexual harassment and/or assault. Doubly so from a person I'm a position of authority.
Wow. You’ve been working out your mental gymnastics muscles a lot lately, I bet! This is an impressive lack of logic. Congratulations, you didn’t contribute anything and are excusing sexism and sexual assault. You sound fun.
No.
