Luis de Llano detained and released over Sasha Sokol case

Overview

Mexico's Supreme Court of Justice upheld a civil judgment against television producer Luis de Llano for moral damages involving singer Sasha Sokol, who was 14 at the time of the relationship. The ruling ordered De Llano to issue a public apology, pay an indemnity, and complete a sexual violence prevention course. As of mid-2026, De Llano had not delivered the apology, citing ongoing legal appeals (amparo) as a barrier to compliance. Sokol continued to press for compliance, noting that more than a year had passed since the judgment was confirmed. On September 3, 2026, De Llano was arrested in Mexico City by the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC-CDMX). The arrest followed two judicial orders issued as coercive measures (medidas de apremio) by a judge from the Superior Court of Justice of Mexico City. These orders were triggered by his repeated failure to fulfill specific mandates: recording and presenting a formal public apology to Sokol before the court and publishing a summary of the judicial sentence confirming his responsibility for moral damages. The detention involved two cumulative 15-hour periods, totaling 30 hours of administrative detention. De Llano was taken to the San Fernando Administrative Sanctions and Social Integration Center. His legal team has challenged the arrest as illegal and an “arbitrariness,” filing an emergency injunction (amparo) to seek early release. Legal counsel for Sokol warned that continued non-compliance could lead to criminal charges with a potential prison sentence of up to five years. On September 4, 2026, De Llano was released from the detention center after spending approximately 24 hours in custody. Following his release, media personality Yordi Rosado defended his 2022 interview with De Llano, which originally brought the situation to public attention.
