The mother of Luis Rubiales has gone on a hunger strike to protest the treatment of the Spanish football federation (RFEF) president.
According to Spanish news agency EFE (via Alex Kirkland of ESPN FC), Ángeles Béjar has locked herself inside a church in Motril, Spain. She's attempting to end the "inhuman, bloodthirsty witch hunt which my son is being subjected to."
"There is no sexual abuse since there is consent on both sides, as the images prove," Béjar said to EFE. "... My son is incapable of hurting anyone."
As the Spain women's national team was celebrating its Women's World Cup victory, Rubiales placed his hands on the head of Jenni Hermoso and kissed the team captain on the lips.
