Spain: Prosecutors Seek 2.5-Year Sentence for Rubiales
The Facts
It was reported Wednesday that Spanish prosecutors are seeking a 2 ½-year prison sentence for former national soccer chief Luis Rubiales for allegedly forcibly kissing player Jenni Hermoso during the Women's World Cup celebration.
Rubiales in August was caught on video grabbing Hermoso and kissing her on the lips.
The Spin
Right narrative
The appropriate punishment in this case isn't the issue. The true problem is the Spanish government's recently passed laws — ironically passed in the name of equality — that have released sex offenders from prison. The Spanish people should ask if their government is applying the law equally.
