The government can't do that, only the association board can.

Should just charge him with sexual assault. I imagination that would force the well earned termination.

Yes he should, in reality he won't, because pressing charges would probably end Jennifer Hermoso's career, and the crime happened in Australia, so not only would she need to deal with court case there, it's doubtful she could get the piece of shit to show up.
