Video: Spain's former football chief Luis Rubiales appears in court in Jenni Hermoso kiss case

The former president of the Spanish football federation left the Spanish National Court in Madrid on Friday after giving testimony to a judge investigating his kiss to Jenni Hermoso at the Women’s World Cup.

Judge Francisco de Jorge earlier this week ordered Luis Rubiales to answer questions in court.

Rubiales kissed Spanish forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the awards ceremony after Spain beat England to win the title on August 20 in Australia.

He said she had consented to the kiss but Hermoso has denied that repeatedly.

Spanish state prosecutors formally accused Rubiales last week of sexual assault and an act of coercion.

According to Hermoso, Rubiales pressured her to speak out in his defense immediately after the scandal erupted.

Rubiales announced on Sunday that he was resigning from his post.

He had already been provisionally suspended by football governing body FIFA.
