Luis Rubiales, the former president of Spain\u2019s soccer federation, has arrived at a court in Madrid to give testimony on Friday to a Spanish judge investigating his kiss of a player at the Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n

Judge Francisco de Jorge issued the order earlier this week for Rubiales to answer his questions at Spain\u2019s National Court.<\/p>\n

Rubiales kissed Spain forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the awards ceremony after Spain beat England to win the title on 20 August in Sydney, Australia. He said she had consented to the kiss, but Hermoso has denied that repeatedly.<\/p>\n

Rubiales did not speak before entering the courthouse with his lawyer.<\/p>\n

Spanish state prosecutors formally accused Rubiales last week of alleged sexual assault and an act of coercion when, according to Hermoso, he pressured her to speak out in his defense immediately after the scandal erupted.<\/p>\n

Rubiales announced on Sunday that he was resigning from his post, from which he had already been provisionally suspended by Fifa.<\/p>\n

De Jorge is carrying out the preliminary investigation into the accusations against Rubiales, and will then decide whether the case should go to trial.<\/p>\n

According to a sexual consent law passed in Spain last year, Rubiales could face a fine or a prison sentence of one to four years if found guilty of sexual assault. The new law eliminated the difference between \u201csexual harassment\u201d and \u201csexual assault,\u201d sanctioning any non-consentual sexual act.<\/p>\n
