A Spanish court on Thursday convicted former football chief, Luis Rubiales, of sexual assault over the forced kiss he gave star forward Jenni Hermoso and fined him 10,800 euros ($11,300).
But the court acquitted him and the three other accused in the case of the charge of coercion over the affair.
Prosecutors had sought a prison term of two-and-a-half years for Rubiales.
