Footballer Jenni Hermoso to appeal verdict of World Cup kiss case

Surely all she's got to do is park outside his house while he's out then he can't come home1

I thought that what he did was highly inappropriate but can a kiss really be defined as sexual assualt?
Let’s look at the definition:
/ˌsek.ʃu.əl əˈsɒlt/ us /ˌsek.ʃu.əl əˈsɑːlt/the act of forcing someone to take part in a sexual activity with you, or of touching someone in a sexual way when they do not want you to
Is a kiss on the lips always sexual? I don’t think so. I often give my daughter, who’s 9, a kiss on the lips. When my wife gets home from work I invariably give her a kiss on the lips but most often it is not what I would call ’sexual’. On other occasions it often is - you get the gist - but not when saying hello or goodbye, and if my wife had just won a tournament and I were congratulating her in public, neither of us would consider it sexual. I know that the player is not his wife but I’m just pointing out that a kiss on the lips is most often non- sexual.
Assualt is defined as a violent attack so neither was it an assualt.
Is it only me who thinks that this case has gone too far?

In short it's right that he should be held to account.1 -

Have a think about it this way - if your daughter was at work, and the company won a big contract, and were out on a night out and the MD got a bit handsy and kissed her on the lips, how would you feel?0 -

Especially in a culture where kissing on the cheeks is a completely normal and non sexual greeting. It's not a culture where any kissing is a massive social disgrace.
He was wrong, but the whole thing has been well overblown. It a female snogged a male footballer on the lips, would it have ended up in a court case?0 -

Firstly, I don’t think a snog is the same as a kiss. A snog is with tongues, isn’t it?
Secondly, given the example of this happening to my daughter when she’s an adult, I’d hope she’d give the guy a slap or knee him in the balls.
I never said that I don’t think there’s any wrongdoing. I just struggle to consider it either sexual or assualt. I invite anyone who disagrees with me to watch the incident again:https://youtu.be/klGN4lvgWdM?si=y0hu4yH89n5CEBX_
Before the kiss she hugs him as much as he does her. I don’t think she consented to the kiss but neither did she push him away. Even after the kiss she still give him a pat to say goodbye.
I think a lot of this has been overdramatised and the player is unhappier in retrospect than on the day.

He grabs her round the head and guns her no choice, how she reacted is irrelevant, she could have been in shock4

I don’t buy the ’she was in shock’ theory either. She walks calmly away and even gives him a ’goodbye pat.’
There’s something behind their relationship and what happened afterwards, maybe with her boyfriend imo.

’Come off it’
’Jesus wept’ Strong arguments.
’Victim blaming’ Cliché
As I’m in the minority and don’t go along with the view in fashion then I must be wrong.
So what? Have it your way. Let’s all get mighty precious and take people to court and waste everyone's time because of a kiss. What is the world coming to?
Meanwhile the mother of a girl who was stabbed by two other kids in Warrington speaks of forgiveness. Today's news boggles me quite frankly.

To be honest Jimmy, your view boggles most people that have posted. And it's not because we are being fashionable.
And the Warrington issue is another issue, not even sure how you think that it is relevant.
Sexual assaultis sexual assault not by your judgement but by the Spanish laws judgement.3 -
Strong argument? Against the idea it’s ok to molest someone? Is it really necessary?2

"Maybe with her boyfriend"? Why do you think she has a boyfriend? Maybe she is in a happy relationship, with another woman?
If another bloke came up and gave you a great big smacker on the lips, would you be happy?
And I've got kids. And we spent a lot of time teaching them that "violence is never the answer".
And I don't think that women (I have 3 daughters) first reaction is to lay someone else out, if they do something they don't approve of.2 -
Jenni Hermoso is gay but that has no bearing on this case; as a women can be straight, gay, bisexual or asexual and what Luis Rubiales, the ex President of the Spanish Federation did by grabbing her head and kissing her on the lips was wrong and deemed a crime.
What should've been the highlight of Hermosa's career and her teammates after winning the trophy will for ever be tainted by the crutch grabbing* Rubiales who instead of saying straight away he was over zealous by kissing her on the lips and apologising, he said she consented; when did the consent take place before the match !
There is a back story as Spanish female footballers had been at odds with the male dominated Spanish Federation for at least 4 years over various issues and this 'Kiss' was the final straw for Jenni and her colleagues.
*Rubiales, whether through drink, drugs or a giant ego was in a highly demonstrative state during the game and he let his exuberance get the better of him but then compounded his actions by blaming Jenni Hermoso.3
