Vadhir Derbez obtains legal injunction in sexual abuse case

Mexican actor and singer Vadhir Derbez has obtained a favorable legal injunction (amparo) regarding a sexual abuse allegation made against him in May. Derbez claims the legal proceedings have been marked by various irregularities within the prosecution's office.

The case originated from a complaint filed by a 19-year-old model alleging inappropriate touching. Derbez has consistently denied the accusations, asserting that the complaint is an attempt at extortion. While the injunction is a positive development for his defense, it does not constitute a final resolution of the case, which remains ongoing.

Derbez noted that the legal situation has impacted his professional life, forcing him to cancel portions of a musical tour and refund tickets. He expressed hope that the Prosecutor's Office will review the actions taken to ensure the process follows proper legal standards.
