Fifa suspends Luis Rubiales from all football-related activity over Hermoso kiss
  • No, you need better reading comprehension.

    Unwanted contact = assault

    Unwanted sexual contact = sexual assault

    A kiss is not inherently sexual, therefore an unwanted kiss is assault, not sexual assault. Inappropriate and gross isn't automatically sexual.

  • Please show me where Spanish criminal code defines what constitutes a kiss.

    The law doesn't even define sexual assault beyond "unwanted sexual conduct". And again, a kiss is not inherently sexual.

    Calling this sexual assault doesn't help anyone, and actively harms victims of actual sexual violence.

  • in a sexual way,

    Did you skip over this?

    A kiss is not inherently sexual. Is a mother's kiss incest? I have a picture of my nephews kissing, is that CP? Hell, dudes in some parts of the world kiss their friends, on the lips, as a greeting.

    Gross and inappropriate conduct isn't automatically sexual.

  • legal definition

    For what jurisdiction? There's not one legal definition. Every country, and every state in the US, has their own definitions.

    My state, for example, defines it as (paraphrasing) unwanted contact with intimate areas for the purpose of sexual gratification or humiliation, or to intentionally harm. It's a bit subjective and open to interpretation, but there's no way anyone would get convicted under this statute for a short, closed-mouth celebratory kiss.

    Again, it's assault, and it's gross and inappropriate, but it doesn't meet all the elements of sexual assault.

  • Isn't that going a little far? Not defending the guy, it's gross and super inappropriate. But a simple kiss is hardly sexual. Basically every child ever is kissed against their will by older relatives and nobody bats an eye.

    Fire the guy, ban him from football for life, but does he need to be arrested? He's not going around groping strangers. He just apparently does gross, stupid shit when he's excited.
