Ricky Martin might be sentenced to prison following being denounced for domestic violence by his nephew. Next week, on July 21, he has a hearing in the Justice of Puerto Rico. This Wednesday -although it is protected information- it was revealed that the complainant is the son of the singer’s sister.
As reported, he is 21 years old and declared in court that he had a romantic relationship with Ricky Martin for seven months.
In addition, the cause includes excesses of alcohol and drugs.
Earlier this month, Ricky Martin received a domestic violence restraining order. The singer’s lawyers assured that said complaint was false, without providing further details.
Although the name of the complainant was kept anonymous because the law protects victims of domestic violence, it was brought to light by Eric Martin, another brother of the singer, who also assured that the young man has mental problems.
Yaddiel Sánchez Martin accuses his uncle of incest if the relationship is proven, the sentimental relationship, which would have lasted seven months. The young man, who is now 21 years old, has in turn a complaint from a woman, for harassment.
On July 21, the first hearing of the trial will take place and in it the son of Vanessa Martin, sister of the artist of Livin’ la vida loca, will have to prove the complaint that he filed, which implies a relationship between blood relatives.
The artist’s nephew assured in the lawsuit that Ricky Martin used drugs and alcohol and that it was he who decided to take the step of breaking up the relationship. So far, the singer has not provided any details regarding the complaint, except for a statement that was released the same day he was sued.
According to the Incest Law of the Puerto Rico Penal Code, any person who is proven to have committed this crime will be punished with imprisonment for a fixed term of 50 years.
