Postponed (again) hearing of Érik 'Terrible' Morales for alleged sexual harassment: What is the new date?
Érik 'Terrible' Morales, former Tijuana city welfare secretary, has postponed his hearing for alleged sexual harassment for the third time, pushing the date back to December 10, 2025.
Érik 'Terrible' Morales, a prominent figure in Mexico and former boxer, has had his hearing regarding allegations of sexual harassment postponed for the third time. The hearing was scheduled for February 27, 2024, but a Baja California judge, Griselda Rábago, granted the request from Morales's defense attorneys to delay the proceedings. This case revolves around accusations made by a municipal employee against Morales, which has become a significant issue in local politics. The continued postponements have raised questions about the judicial process and the timeliness of legal accountability in high-profile cases.
The first postponement occurred in December 2025, when Morales could not be located for questioning. This delay has frustrated advocates and stakeholders in Tijuana who view the case as a litmus test for how allegations of sexual misconduct are handled within the judicial system. With the public eye fixed on Morales, who has also been a popular figure in sports, the ramifications of these hearings could significantly affect his reputation and future engagements in public life.
Moving forward, the rescheduling of the hearing to December 10, 2025, emphasizes ongoing challenges in the legal system that involve high-profile individuals. It highlights the necessity for timely judicial processes, especially in cases involving serious allegations like sexual harassment, where victims often face long waits for justice. The community is watching closely as this case progresses, bearing heavy implications for both Morales and the larger discourse on accountability in cases of sexual misconduct in Mexico.
