Mexico City: A 98-year-old Mexican woman has filed a legal complaint against a suitor 50 years her junior who she said tried to kiss her and threatened to kill her if she didn't let him move in with her.
Maria de Jesus Flores, a widow for the past half century with four grown children in the United States, got to know Manuel Martinez, 48, when he started delivering her groceries.
But he began propositioning her to the point of harassment, Flores told the daily Reforma.
"I've been a widow since 1950," the newspaper quoted the old lady as saying, with a photograph of her at home in the central city of Irapuato wearing a checkered housecoat over a flowery skirt, her gray hair in a bun.
"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 said, adding that she suspected that what Martinez really wanted was for her to support him financially.
When Martinez snapped and threatened to kill her if she turned him down, de Jesus Flores lodged a complaint with the local attorney general's office, Reforma said.
