Mexican singer accused producer Luis de Llano on Thursday of once again failing to comply with a court ruling regarding child sexual abuse by issuing a public apology that, according to the artist, does not correspond to the one ordered by the court, and she announced that she will be adding lawyers specializing in criminal law to her defense.

"That is not the apology that the court ordered him to publish and whose text has been final since January of this year," Sokol affirmed in a statement, after De Llano released a video in which he acknowledged his civil liability for moral damages.

In the recording, the 81-year-old producer admitted that his previous statements regarding the relationship he had with Sokol were "unfortunate and inaccurate" and offered a public apology to the singer.

However, the former member of the group Timbiriche maintained that the message omits fundamental elements of the court resolution.

"The apology he is obligated to offer expressly recognizes that at 14, I could not consent to a relationship with him, that he acted from a position of power, and that my parents were not accomplices. None of that appears in the video he published," she denounced.

Sokol also pointed out that De Llano is prohibited from mentioning her publicly, except under the terms established by the court, which is why she considered the publication to be a new breach of the order.

Likewise, she announced that, after nearly five years of civil litigation, the firm Zinser, Esponda y Gómez Mont will join her legal team for criminal matters, although she did not specify if she would be filing a new complaint.

Judicial background

The statement comes two months after De Llano was arrested in Mexico City for failing to comply with two measures derived from the ruling in favor of Sokol.

The producer remained in a temporary detention center for nearly 24 hours and was released on September 3, following the execution of two 15-hour arrest warrants related to the failure to publish the apology and a summary of the ruling.

The litigation began in 2022, after De Llano spoke publicly about the relationship he maintained with Sokol when she was 14 and he was 40.

In 2023, a judge ruled in favor of the singer for moral damages, and in June 2025, the Supreme Court of Justice of Mexico rejected the amparo (constitutional appeal) filed by the producer, leaving the resolution final.

The highest court also established that civil actions to claim compensation for sexual violence suffered during childhood and adolescence do not expire.
