Toño Berumen will appear for the complaint of abuse of actor Mauricio Martínez

In March 2022, the singer and author Mauricio Martínez, inspired by Sasha Sökol’s complaint against Luis de Llano for the abuse he had experienced, publicly denounced that he had also been a victim of harassment in the media at the beginning of his career by Toño Berumen, the former manager of groups such as Mercurio and Magneto.

Through a statement on his Twitter account, Mauricio announced that on January 26, 2023, there was a hearing that his alleged attacker did not attend, only his lawyers. In addition, he stressed that Toño has not faced this situation personally at any time, which is why a summons was issued that will take place on February 13 and if he does not appear, an arrest warrant will be issued against him.

Mauricio Martínez and Toño Berumen

On March 9, 2022, Mauricio publicly recounted the harassment of which he was a victim at the hands of Toño Berumen. The actor wrote that he had gone to his office, which was also his house, to talk about a record contract, since he knew that Toño was recognized in the media. Everything was going well in the interview until he wanted to go to the bathroom and then he panicked when he realized that he had a camera pointed at the shower. After leaving the bathroom, everything escalated very quickly.

His office was in his house, so there was a shower in the bathroom. After interviewing me, she asked me to sing a song for her. I really wanted to pee and went to the bathroom…and that’s when I realized there was a camera pointing at the shower.

Although the actor said that it did not lead to something more serious such as rape, he did have to go to therapy after this incident to overcome it emotionally, as he assured that despite being victims, they often feel guilty for what happened. In addition to this, he assured that he knows many stories of people who have worked with him and who have been sexually harassed. However, media pressure often causes them to remain silent out of fear or because they think they will not be believed, which is why the abusers continue to do so.

Finally, Mauricio said that he did not want to and was not going to talk more about the subject or give more statements, but he went to the corresponding institutions to present his complaint. Furthermore, he said that by going public, he hoped to help other victims to be encouraged to break the silence and also asked people to believe the victims.

For now, all that remains is to wait for Toño Berumen to appear so that he can be charged with the charges against him and, finally, justice is done, otherwise, we could talk about him most likely going to jail.
