Overview

• Two Supreme Court theses (200/2025 and 201/2025) took effect on September 1, making them obligatory for all judges and tribunals in Mexico.
• Tesis 200/2025 classifies sex-affective relationships between adults and adolescents with marked age or power asymmetry as sexual violence that gives the victim a right to indemnification.
• Tesis 201/2025 declares that the action to claim civil damages for sexual violence suffered in childhood or adolescence does not prescribe and may be exercised at any time.
• The criteria arise from Amparo directo 34/2024 in Sasha Sokol’s case against producer Luis de Llano, approved by the Supreme Court’s First Chamber in its final session and published in late August.
• Sasha Sokol publicly celebrated the rulings, which are expected to remove a key barrier for survivors seeking civil reparations regardless of how much time has passed.
