Singer and performer Ricky Martin received a restraining order filed by his nephew under the Puerto Rico domestic violence law, following domestic abuse claims, who says that abuse followed his breakup with Martin after a long incestuous secret relationship.
The restraining order prohibits Martin from contacting or calling his nephew who allegedly fears for his safety after the fallout of the relationship.
According to the Puerto Rican law, which heavily penalizes incest, Ricky Martin could be looking at a nearly 50-year sentence if found guilty.
The 50-year-old singer is facing carrier-ending allegations. He is being accused of exercising physical and psychological attacks on Denis Yadiel Sanchez during their seven-month relationship, which ended about two months ago.
Martin addressed the matter both on Twitter and on Instagram saying: “Because it is an ongoing legal matter, I cannot make detailed statements at this time. I am grateful for the countless messages of solidarity, and I receive them with all my heart.”
Ricky Martin is currently trending worldwide because of shocking news and the release of his newest EP.
Martin’s lawyer insists that the nephew has serious psychological problems and deals with many mental health challenges. The singer has not given any statement after his social media posts and plans to address this juristically.
A hearing on the case is set to take place on July 21.
