Ex-Spanish Soccer President Luis Rubiales Hit With Restraining Order, Must Avoid Player He Kissed

Former Spanish soccer federation head Luis Rubiales has been granted a restraining order and is barred from contacting the athlete he kissed on the lips at the Women's World Cup, Jenni Hermoso. Prosecutors claimed Rubiales appeared before Judge and denied any misconduct when questioned about kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the awards ceremony. They charged Rubiales with sexual assault and coercion. 

The judge imposed the restraining order after hearing Rubiales, preventing Rubiales from coming within 200 meters of Hermoso. The state prosecutors had requested that the prohibition be extended to 500 meters. The judge denied the prosecutors' plea to compel Rubiales to appear in court every 15 days, as well as Hermoso's lawyer's attempt to seize Rubiales' assets.
