They had gone on the run after Trevi and Andrade were accused of the abuse and rape of the girls in their care. How had a superstar gotten involved in a sex cult with nearly a dozen teenage girls? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndrade founded a performing arts school that plucked young girls out of obscurity and promised to cultivate them into stars. His first recruit was Gloria Trevi. For many girls and their parents, the opportunity was too tempting to pass up. When a known hitmaker and Mexico's most famous singer promised they could leave their hard life behind, how could they say no? But already, whispers of abuse had been circulating, and finally, the allegations caught up to them--resulting in a two-year, international chase for the pair and the girls they had taken with them. Finally apprehended in Brazil and imprisoned there, Gloria and Sergio still had tricks up their sleeves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this hair-raising, masterful investigation, bestselling author and journalist Christopher McDougall uncovers the dark secrets of the \"supreme diva of Mexican pop\" and her mercurial manager, catching us up on this remarkable case and the civil suit that has recently been brought against them in Los Angeles. \u003ci\u003eStarstruck\u003c\/i\u003e is an eye-opening story about the allure of fame and the corrupting influence of power.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHRISTOPHER McDOUGALL covered wars in Rwanda and Angola as a foreign correspondent for the Associated Press before writing his bestselling book \u003ci\u003eBorn to Run. \u003c\/i\u003eHis fascination with the limits of human potential led to his next works \u003ci\u003eRunning with \u003c\/i\u003eSherman and \u003ci\u003eNatural Born \u003c\/i\u003eHeroes, and his \u003ci\u003eOutside \u003c\/i\u003emagazine web series, \"Art of the Hero.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52011789091117,"sku":"9798217008285","price":19.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/starstruck-a-journalists-pursuit-of-a-fugitive-pop-star-her-diabolical-maestro-and-their-teenage-sex-cult-paperback-7359210.webp?v=1777444028","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/starstruck-a-journalists-pursuit-of-a-fugitive-pop-star-her-diabolical-maestro-and-their-teenage-sex-cult-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
