Spain's Jenni Hermoso testifies over World Cup kiss probe

STORY: Hermoso behind closed doors spoke to investigating judge Francisco de Jorge, who is examining evidence including television footage before deciding whether to approve charges and advance the case to trial.

Leaving court accompanied by her lawyer, Hermoso told reporters that, "the process will follow its course" and gave thanks for the support she has received.

The 33-year-old forward - Spain's all-time top scorer - lodged a criminal complaint of sexual assault and coercion in September over the kiss on the winners' podium on Aug. 20, saying she had not wanted to be kissed, and that she felt "vulnerable and a victim of an aggression".
