The order came after he appeared in court to be investigated for sexual assault for kissing her on the lips.

An investigating judge at Spain's High Court has imposed a restraining order to prevent former football chief Luis Rubiales from coming within 200 meters of national team player Jenni Hermoso.

The order came after he appeared in court to be investigated for sexual assault for kissing her on the lips.

The incident, which occurred at the medal ceremony after Spain's women's team won the World Cup in Sydney, Australia, on Aug. 20, has triggered a furore over sexism in Spanish sport and society and prompted protests similar to the "Me Too" movement.
