Nearly two decades after a judge abruptly cleared Gloria Trevi of charges she lured minors into a secret sex ring in Mexico, the singer is facing a new civil lawsuit that revives claims she procured underage girls for her ex-producer Sergio Andrade.
Attempts to reach Andrade were not immediately successful. The once-powerful producer previously admitted he had sex with Karina Yapor, the chief accuser behind his criminal conviction, when she was 13 years old, but during his trial, he denied raping her or holding her against her will. Yapor had alleged she was essentially kidnapped at 12 and brainwashed into becoming a member of Andrade’s harem with Trevi, then in her late 20s, playing a key role.
Andrade allegedly had “strict rules” that forbade the friendship, and Trevi purportedly told the teen through tears that she would have to leave the troupe unless she could convince Andrade to let her stay. Andrade, who was 36 years old at the time while Jane Doe 1 was 16, allegedly coerced her into an initial sexual assault that night and then manipulated or “forced” her into a series of assaults and rapes that continued until approximately 2001, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit alleges Andrade also controlled Jane Doe 1 and other unidentified dancers by subjecting them to “whippings, beatings, food deprivation and forced physical exercise” if they dared to “displease” him. Jane Doe 1 alleges her “sexual, physical and mental abuse” continued when she traveled with Trevi and Andrade to Southern California for recording sessions and shows, such as Trevi’s performance at the famed Roxy Theater on August 31, 1992. The suit alleges the abuse continued until 2000, when Andrade was arrested.
As the complaint further alleges, Trevi soon began grooming the girl to become Andrade’s “girlfriend,” telling her she was the perfect candidate to make him “believe in love again” after another girl her same age had “betrayed him” and broken his heart. Later that summer, when Jane Doe 2 was still 13 years old, Andrade began sexually assaulting the girl in an office and an apartment in Mexico City, the filing claims. He would have been 33 at the time, while Trevi was 21.
