  • LHHMIA Star Allan Mueses Charged With Sexual Assault

    Troubling allegations have surfaced against Allan Mueses, a familiar face from ‘Love & Hip Hop: Miami.’ Mueses, who is also the father of Amara La Negra’s twin daughters, has been arrested and charged with four counts of sexual assault related to an incident from 2010.

    Cold Case Investigation Leads to Arrest

    The charges stem from a cold case investigation reopened by the Kalamazoo Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI). Mueses, who was a foreign exchange student at Western Michigan University from 2009 to 2013, was arrested on July 11. His accuser, who was a 20-year-old fellow student at the time, reported the alleged assault to university police immediately after it occurred in his apartment. Although a forensic medical examination was conducted, Mueses was not charged at the time.

    The Michigan Attorney General’s Office issued a statement confirming Mueses’ apprehension. The case was brought back to light by SAKI, an initiative launched in 2016 to investigate and prosecute cold cases involving untested sexual assault evidence kits. This initiative has successfully reopened over 200 cases spanning more than 40 years.

    Victim’s Testimony and Ongoing Trauma

    The alleged victim testified on August 14, detailing the lasting trauma from the incident. She recounted meeting Mueses through sports at the university and visiting his apartment. According to her testimony, Mueses allegedly attempted to undress her, ignoring her protests and even her attempt to de-escalate by showing him her purity ring. She described feeling like her “worst nightmare” was happening and that she disassociated from her body during the assault.

    The victim stated that Mueses told her to “think about this every night,” and she continues to experience nightmares. After hearing the testimony, Judge Kathleen Hemingway moved the district court case to the circuit court to proceed towards a trial. Mueses has pleaded not guilty to the charges, including First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct – Personal Injury, and posted a $250,000 bond for his release.

    Co-Parenting Amidst Legal Battles

    Mueses, who resides in the Dominican Republic, had recently begun appearing on ‘Love & Hip Hop: Miami’ to co-parent his twin daughters with Amara La Negra. The couple welcomed Sumajestad Royalty De Los Santos and Sualteza Empress De Los Santos in 2022, navigating an on-again, off-again relationship while Mueses was still married to another woman. Amara La Negra had previously expressed challenges with parenting their children alone while Mueses lived abroad.

    The Michigan Attorney General’s office continues to investigate the case and urges anyone with information regarding Mueses or similar alleged misconduct to contact Kalamazoo County SAKI Investigator Richard Johnson.

  • LHHMIA’s Allan Mueses Faces Sexual Assault Charges

    Serious allegations have surfaced against Allan Mueses, a personality featured on ‘Love & Hip Hop: Miami’ and the father of reality star Amara La Negra’s twin daughters. Mueses has been charged with four counts of sexual assault, stemming from an alleged incident that occurred approximately 15 years ago. The alleged victim has come forward, sharing harrowing details of the encounter and its lasting impact.

    Allegations Surface from 2010 Incident

    According to a statement from the Michigan Attorney General’s Office, Mueses, whose legal name is Al Allan De Los Santos Mueses, was arrested in Miami, Florida, on an extradition warrant. The charges relate to an alleged incident in March 2010 when Mueses, then 25 and a foreign exchange student at Western Michigan University, is accused of sexually assaulting a fellow student. The alleged victim, then 20, reported the incident to university police and underwent a forensic medical examination at the time, though no charges were filed then.

    Fast forward to July 2025, and Mueses, now 40, faces four counts of First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct – Personal Injury. He was arrested on July 11 and extradited to Michigan the same day. After posting a $250,000 bond on August 8, he was released from jail. The investigation is ongoing, supported by the Kalamazoo Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), which works to prosecute cold-case sexual assaults.

    Victim’s Testimony Details Alleged Assault

    The alleged victim recently testified in court, recounting the traumatic experience. She claims Mueses “preyed” on her and, during the assault, told her to “think about this every night.” The memory, she stated, continues to haunt her, causing persistent nightmares. She described their relationship as friendly, often playing sports together on campus.

    During her testimony, she detailed how Mueses allegedly forced himself on her multiple times at his apartment, despite her repeated denials and pleas. She recalled feeling panicked as he began to undress her, thinking, “My worst nightmare is about to happen.” She also described attempting to make him finish quickly so she could leave, but he allegedly ignored her pleas and continued the assault, even after she showed him her purity ring.

    Mueses, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, reportedly shook his head as the victim testified. Considering the testimony and evidence presented, Judge Kathleen Hemingway has moved the case to circuit court for trial. This development highlights the serious nature of the accusations and the ongoing legal process.
