Overview
- The 34-year-old actor was accused by a 19-year-old model who filed a complaint with the Sexual Crimes Prosecutor in Mexico City alleging non-consensual contact during an April 2 video shoot in Coyoacán.
- Her account says she was taken to a private dressing room at the set and that the contact occurred there without consent.
- Derbez publicly rejected the claim and said he was never alone with the complainant, pointing to continuous security footage, phone data, and production staff who he says track his movements throughout the shoot.
- His legal team says messages demanded $350,000 and threatened an arrest warrant if he did not pay, and they have reported the alleged scheme to the federal organized-crime unit known as FEMDO.
- Prosecutors have kept the investigative file confidential, the defense says it has not received formal notice of the complaint, the alleged victim’s identity has not been disclosed, and media reports note that forensic and communications reviews are part of the standard process now underway.
