Who Is Gloria Trevi And Her Alleged 'Cult'?

March 2024 · 2 minute read

Rolling Stone explains that the two Jane Does in question filed their charges against Gloria Trevi and Sergio Andrade in Los Angeles right before December 31, 2022. The timing was more than deliberate, as California just closed its three-year "lookback window" for survivors of sexual abuse charges to come forward with accusations that would normally fall outside of the state's statute of limitations, as the law firm Wallin & Klarich explains. In other words, it was the last and potentially only chance for the two Jane Does to step forward. As Rolling Stone states, the charges comprise a civil suit, not a criminal one, and don't specifically mention Trevi and Andrade. However, it's clear from all details involved — the timing of the charges, Trevi's concerts and albums from that time, etc. — that Trevi and Andrade are the case's two defendants. 

The two Jane Doe plaintiffs say they were 13 and 15 years old when Trevi recruited them into Andrade's "music training program." Framed as a gateway to fame and success in the music industry, the two girls were subsequently groomed into Andrade's "sex slaves" and suffered abuse in Los Angeles — hence the location of the suit. As the story goes, Trevi was already popular at the time and served as the perfect vehicle for Andrade to use to snare vulnerable and naïve young women. Trevi approached them, gave them some kind of spiel, and they jumped on board.
