Sasha Sokol, while in the pop group Timbiriche in the 1980s, publicly revealed in 2022 that she had a relationship with producer Luis de Llano, 39, when she was 14. After De Llano made statements downplaying the relationship, Sokol initiated legal proceedings and a court ruled in her favor in 2023.
In 2025, Mexico's Supreme Court upheld Sokol's case and set a historic precedent that individuals who suffered sexual violence during childhood or adolescence can petition a judge and seek damages regardless of the time elapsed. This ruling rendered the statute of limitations ineffective in child sexual abuse lawsuits in Mexico.
Because the lawsuit was civil, not criminal, De Llano was not sentenced to prison; the court ordered a public apology and damages. In September 2026, De Llano was detained twice for 15 hours each, totaling 30 hours, under enforcement proceedings (apremio) for failing to comply with the court rulings.
