SUSPENDED Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales was last night hoping a new video clip will clear him of his alleged sexual assault kiss with World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso.
Rubiales, who may face prosecution, reportedly sent the footage – in which Spain’s Hermoso laughs and jokes about the incident – to football governing body Fifa.
A source said: “This video is gold dust for Rubiales. All along we have said for Jenni to tell the truth. There was no sexual assault.”
But one anti-domestic abuse campaigner said Rubiales was deluded if he thought it would exonerate him.
Teresa Parker, who developed a campaign in football for Women’s Aid, said it was wrong to pressure Hermoso to change her story.
