Spain's Supreme Court ruled that a non-consensual kiss constitutes sexual assault.
Spain's Supreme Court ruled that a kiss without "tacit consent" is considered sexual assault, following a previous conviction of a police officer who kissed a woman in custody. The court has set the precedent that a non-consensual kiss constitutes a bodily invasion, emphasizing that consent is key in such situations. The ruling comes ahead of former football federation chief Luis Rubiales' trial for an unsolicited kiss at the Women's World Cup.
