Gloria Trevi and the producer Sergio Andrade they again face a new lawsuit for child abuse and exploitation, this time involving two minors in the 1990s.
According to the lawsuit obtained by the American media The Rolling Stone, neither the name of Trevi nor that of Andrade appear literally in said document. However, the details presented by the plaintiffs and the chronology of their testimony make it clear that the two of them are the defendants.
The two victims recounted that they were 13 and 15 years old when the Mexican singer approached them to propose that they join a supposed musical training program directed by Sergio. By then, both the interpreter of the song “Pelo suelto” and Andrade already enjoyed fame and recognition in the music industry.
The applicants indicated that Gloria Trevi prepared and manipulated them on various occasions to become “sex slaves” from the producer Sergio Andrade and that much of the abuse took place in Los Angeles County, United States.
Both explained that the events they experiencedeithern separately with the Mexican producer were physical and sexual assaults, isolation from his family and constant abuse.
“(Trevi and Andrade) used their role, status and power as a well-known and successful Mexican pop star and famous producer to gain access, groom, manipulate and exploit (the victims) and force sexual contact with them during a course of years”is indicated in the complaint, according to The Rolling Stone magazine.
The document was filed December 30 under California’s Child Victims Law, which allows survivors of child sexual abuse to file civil cases.
In January 2000, Trevi, his former representative Sergio Andrade, and María Raquenel Portillo were arrested in Brazil on charges of kidnapping, rape, and corruption of minors.
The “Con los ojos cerrados” singer spent three years in jail and was extradited to Mexico, where she was acquitted and released in September 2004, after a judge ruled there was insufficient evidence to support the rape charges. , kidnapping and corruption of minors filed against him.
However, although Andrade was convicted of rape, kidnapping and corruption of minors, he only spent one more year behind bars.
The scandal surrounding the then-called “Trevi-Andrade clan” began to come to light when the singer Aline Hernández published the book “La Gloria por el infierno” (1998).
