Gloria Trevi Clears First Hurdle for Lawsuit Claiming She Was Main Victim of Abuse

Gloria Trevi survives first major challenge to her lawsuit claiming she was the main victim of her ex-manager Sergio Andrade's 'sadistic' sex abuse.

When the two Janes Does first filed their lawsuit on Dec. 30, 2022 — just as the look-back window for older cases of childhood sexual abuse was closing in California — it revived a scandal that had gripped Mexico for nearly two decades prior with allegations Trevi had procured underage girls for Andrade as part of a globetrotting sex ring. Trevi, now 56, spent four years in pre-trial detention but was ultimately acquitted when a judge said there was insufficient evidence to support the rape, kidnapping, and corruption of minors charges filed against her by Mexican prosecutors. Two days after Trevi filed her cross-complaint, a new pair of Jane Doe plaintiffs sued her in Los Angeles with separate allegations the pop star recruited them into Andrade’s orbit and pressured them to submit to sex or face repercussions.
