The hunt for Mexican pop star Gloria Trevi ‘s former manager Sergio Andrade Sanchez has intensified after he “seemingly disappeared” in what authorities believe is either Mexico or Spain. A Los Angeles County judge ruled Wednesday that the first two Jane Doe plaintiffs to sue Trevi and Andrade with claims of childhood sex abuse in California can invoke an international treaty to help track him down. Andrade – a once-powerful producer previously convicted of rape and kidnapping in Mexico – has kept a low profile since the Jane Does first filed their lawsuit in December 2022.
The complaint, filed under the California Child Victims Act, alleges Trevi, Andrade and singer-actress Mary Boquitas lured the Doe plaintiffs into a globetrotting music group when they were 13 and 15 years old and then subjected them to sexual abuse in the early Nineties during trips to California. “It’s clear the parties are making substantial efforts to locate and serve Mr. Andrade Sanchez, who may be in Mexico or may be in Spain.
He mysteriously appeared in some medical facility in Madrid and then seemingly disappeared after that,” Judge Jared Moses said during the morning hearing in Pasadena, Calif., where he granted the plaintiffs’ request for more time to complete service of their complaint. In his order, the judge directed the court clerk to help the plaintiffs reach out to Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Hague Convention and have Mexican authorities serve Andrade .
