Luis Rubiales, former president of the Spanish football federation, was fined over $10,000 for sexually assaulting player Jenni Hermoso. The incident occurred after Spain’s victory in the 2023 Women’s World Cup final. Rubiales kissed Hermoso without her consent, leading to a fine of 20 euros per day for 18 months, totaling over 10,000 euros ($10,434.00). Although acquitted of coercion, Rubiales was banned from approaching Hermoso within 200 meters or communicating with her for a year. The case, which overshadowed Spain’s first Women’s World Cup win, also saw three other federation members cleared of coercion charges. The statistics highlight the legal and financial repercussions of the incident, reflecting broader societal discussions on consent and sexism in sports.
