In January 2015, Mayor Torres's daughter was involved in a scandal when naked photos of her were discovered on the internet. It was not clear if the photos of her were taken when she was a minor.[2]
Torres was mayor when Hurricane Maria struck the island in September 2017 destroying the infrastructure of Corozal.[3] Torres decried the slow government response saying he didn't have enough food and water to supply the victims and that people from Corozal were having to get water from rivers or collect rain water. Consumable water was not available to many residents for weeks after the hurricane struck.[4]
