Former Spanish football president Luis Rubiales has been found guilty of kissing Jenni Hermoso without her consent, writes Reuters.

He has been sentenced to pay 10,800 euros, but will not serve any prison time.

Rubiales’ defense lawyers asked for a full acquittal in the case.

He was also accused of trying to get Hermoso to say the kiss was consensual, but was acquitted on the issue of unlawful coercion.
