Jenni Hermoso has filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office over the kiss by now-suspended Spanish FA chief Luis Rubiales following the Women’s World Cup final.
Hermoso gave her testimony on Tuesday and the complaint will be processed “as soon as possible”, the prosecutor added.
With the complaint, Rubiales could face criminal charges, in addition to the ongoing inquiry by Spain’s top sport court for “serious misconduct” and an investigation by FIFA, which has provisionally suspended him.
Rubiales kissed Hermoso during the awards ceremony after Spain beat England 1-0 in Sydney on August 20.
Hermoso said she did not want to be kissed, and that she felt “vulnerable and a victim of an aggression”.
Hermoso also said she and her family were pressured by the federation to show support for Rubiales in the immediate aftermath of the incident.
Rubiales, who has so far refused to resign despite heavy pressure, said the kiss was “spontaneous, mutual, euphoric and consensual”.
Spain’s government, players’ unions, players and many citizens have vocally supported Hermoso – but Rubiales has refused to resign.
Rubiales was suspended by FIFA on August 27 after he delivered a defiant speech to the general assembly of his federation in which he claimed he was victim of a “witch hunt” by “false feminists.”
