“With the evidence and witnesses, it was proven that the relationship started by him, when I was 14 years old, was illegal and asymmetrical due to the difference in age and the hierarchical role he exercised,” he added.
A history of sexual abuse
The relationship between Sasha and De Llano was in the gaze of the Mexican public for years, but the issue gained strength again after De Llano stated during a digital interview, in February 2022, that he had a relationship with Sokol when she was 17 years old. which, according to what he said, lasted six months.
After these statements, on March 8, Sasha denied De Llano and assured that the time their relationship lasted was almost four years, beginning when she was 14 years old and he was 39, and she was a member of the Timbiriche group and he was her representative.
Almost a month later, on April 6, 2022, the singer explained the situation of sexual abuse that she experienced in her childhood at the hands of who was her representative at the time and told De Llano that they would see each other in court.
The sentence, explained the singer, considers that what Luis de Llano declared in the media “constitutes an act of re-victimization and consequently condemns him, among other things, to a public apology, to refrain from speaking again about what happened and pay compensation”.
The 52-year-old singer has recognized “the responsible action and with a gender perspective of the Tribunal. I trust that your performance will be an example for other authorities; many cases of children and adolescents have not been tried and their rights continue to be violated”.
He has also pointed out that “all victims deserve to be treated with respect” and that “all abusers must be ruthlessly prosecuted. Only then, Mexico will cease to be one of the countries with the most cases of child abuse. I hope my voice and my story serve to make it so.”
