In March an elderly Mexican woman, 98 years young, filed a legal complaint against a suitor 50 years her junior who she claims tried to kiss her and threatened to kill her if she didn’t let the man move in with her.

Maria de Jesus Flores, widow and mother of four grown children who live in the United States, says she first met Manuel Martinez, 48, when he started delivering groceries to her home. Flores told the daily Reforma that he began propositioning her to the point of harassment.

“I’ve been a widow since 1950,” said Flores. “He said he couldn’t live without me, that he loved me, but that’s not for me … I can’t have sexual relations any more, I’m 98,” she added that she suspected that what Martinez really wanted was for her to support him financially.

Martinez snapped and threatened to kill her if she continued to turn him down causing de Jesus Flores to lodge a complaint with the local attorney generals office.
