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.
has survived a court challenge and can move ahead with her full lawsuit alleging she was a central victim of her ex-manager Sergio Andrade’s “sadistic” sex abuse, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday.in December 2022 had asked the court to reject Trevi’s legal action. In their demurrer motion, the women argued that Trevi’s lawsuit, which was brought as a cross-complaint to their action, was simply too vague.
Trevi’s lawyer, Leo Presiado, argued that his client’s cross-complaint was more than sufficient. In his final decision, Judge Jared D. Moses agreed, ruling that Trevi’s cross-complaint was “not incomprehensible” to the point that it should be struck down. He said case law supports Trevi’s right to resolve “certain ambiguities” through discovery. The next hearing in the highly contentious case is set for June 5.
In her cross-complaint filed December 27, 2023, Trevi sued Andrade for sexual assault and battery, and alleged that he “enlisted” both of the Jane Does “to perpetuate his abuse.” She claimed that with the “assistance” of the two Jane Does and others, Andrade “successfully hid, for many years, the fact that he had gathered around him a group of young women that he controlled, physically and mentally abused, and raped.
Karen Barth Menzies, one of the lawyers representing the two Jane Does, responded to Trevi’s cross-complaint by highlighting her clients’ tender ages and lack of fame when they were swept into the alleged abuse under Trevi and Andrade, two adults at the time.
