One of Mexico’s most beloved pop singers Gloria Trevi has once again been accused of \u201cgrooming\u201d and exploiting underage girls in the early 1990s for the benefit of her ex-producer Sergio Andrade.<\/p>\n
Two Jane Does have alleged that Trevi, now 54, and Andrade used their \u201crole, status, and power\u201d to initiate sexual contact with them over several years when they were just 13 and 15 years old respectively, with much of the abuse happening in Los Angeles County. The filing introduces the two Jane Does as \u201csurvivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual battery, assault, molestation, and abuse\u201d at the hands of the defendants and states that they’ve \u201csubstantial emotional distress, anxiety, nervousness, anger and fear\u201d \u201d as a result of the abuse.<\/p>\n
More from Variety<\/strong><\/p>\nThe 30-page lawsuit, a civil case viewed by variety<\/em>, and originally reported on Wednesday by Rolling Stone, was filed in Los Angeles on Dec. 30. The filings do not exclusively use Trevi or Andrade’s names, and instead anonymously identify them as Jane Doefamous defendants, but their participation is obvious based on the descriptions and the matching chronology of tours and album releases: Trevi is described as a \u201c and popular pop star, and one of the most highly compensated female artists in Latin America\u201d and Andrade is described as \u201cone of the most successful music producers in Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\nRepresentatives for Trevi did not immediately respond to variety<\/em>‘s request for comments.<\/p>\nThe filing narrowly met the deadline for California’s Child Victims Act, which temporarily suspended the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse claims for three years.<\/p>\n
Trevi and Andrade were first accused of corrupting and abuse minors in the ’90s and in January of 2000, the pair, along with backup singer Mar\u00eda Raquenel Portillo, were arrested for their connection to an alleged cult-like sex ring. The arrests were based on charges from former vocalist Karina Yapor who claimed she was forced to have sexual relations with Andrade.<\/p>\n
Story continues<\/button><\/p>\nTrevi served four years in a Chihuahua prison but was eventually acquitted of those charges in 2004 and continued with her career, releasing chart-topping albums and putting on arena shows. In 2018, she gave an emotional speech at the Latin American Music Awards where she explained that she was just 15 when Andrade, who she didn’t identify by name, pulled her into a world of abuse and manipulation.<\/p>\n
The complaint calls for a trial by jury and damages with the amount to be decided at the time of trial. Trevi is scheduled to play three shows at the end of January in Mexico City.<\/p>\n
