Spain’s former soccer boss Luis Rubiales denied in a preliminary court hearing on Friday allegations of sexual assault and coercion filed by soccer player Jenni Hermoso over an alleged non-consensual kiss, the prosecutor leading the case said. The prosecutor has also requested a restraining order against Rubiales so he cannot get within 500 metres (547 yards) of Hermoso, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
