Luis Rubiales says he will resign as Spanish soccer federation president over unwanted World Cup kiss

Luis Rubiales says he intends to resign as president of Spain’s soccer federation after Women’s World Cup champion Jenni Hermoso accused him of sexual assault following the country’s win last month.

The incident occurred while Rubiales was congratulating the Spanish women’s team Aug. 20 after it defeated England, its first championship at the women’s tournament. Rubiales kissed Hermoso on the lips, which she said was forced on her, and she denied Rubiales’ assertions that she gave consent.
