The prosecutor’s office also recommended that the court ask Australian counterparts for information on sexual assault laws there. The two countries have a treaty of mutual assistance between their courts. Rubiales also faces action from the Spanish government. A government legal panel overseeing sports has opened an investigation to determine if he abused his authority by kissing Hermoso or tainted the image of Spain with his conduct. He faces being deemed unfit to hold his post for up to two years.

It absolutely is sexual assault. Hope he gets his just punishment. If you do that, say, on the street, you'll get arrested and sued. Time to treat public persons accordingly.

It's even worse because he was her boss. Can you imagine something like that happenning in an office?
