Incest allegations against Ricky Martin are DROPPED after singer’s nephew withdraws his abuse claims and asks judge to dismiss the case: The 21-year-old was said to be struggling with mental health issues
- Martin, 50, had the claims against him withdrawn by Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, his nephew who had originally said the singer and actor was in a sexual relationship
- A judge had previously dismissed the temporary restraining order against Martin about a week ago
- ‘Just as we had anticipated, the temporary protection order was not extended by the court,’ Martin’s legal team said in a statement
- Accuser Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, the son of the pop singer’s half-sister, Vanessa Martin, made the claims against his uncle
Ricky Martin has won a case against his 21-year-old nephew who had been accusing him of incest and abuse.
Martin, 50, had the claims against him withdrawn by Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, his nephew who had originally said the singer and actor was in a sexual relationship with him for seven months.
A judge also dismissed the temporary restraining order that was filed against Martin about a week ago, TMZ reported.
Martin appeared in court via Zoom conference.
‘Just as we had anticipated, the temporary protection order was not extended by the court,’ Martin’s legal team said in a statement. ‘The accuser confirmed to the court that his decision to dismiss the matter was his alone, without any outside influence or pressure.’

The attorneys made it clear in their statement that this was all at Sanchez’s request.
‘This was never anything more than a troubled individual making false allegations with absolutely nothing to substantiate them. We are glad that our client saw justice done and can now move forward with his life and career.’
The singer posted the statement to his Instagram page Thursday with the caption: ‘Truth prevails.’
Accuser Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, the son of the pop singer’s half-sister, Vanessa Martin, made the claims against his uncle.
Sanchez had reportedly filed a temporary restraining order against Martin earlier this month to limit the contact with the singer.
According to the order – which was reviewed by El Vocero, a Puerto Rican newspaper – Martin and Sanchez broke up two months ago after dating for seven months.
Sanchez alleged Martin didn’t accept the separation and has been seen loitering near his house on at least three occasions, according to the order reviewed by El Vocero, a Puerto Rican newspaper.
He also alleged Martin had been ‘consuming large amounts of alcohol and drugs.’
The singer’s attorneys have denied the allegations and are preparing their defense against Sanchez, who reportedly was recently been denounced by a woman after he allegedly harassed her and ‘threatened to destroy her life.’
Martin’s legal team told DailyMail.com the accuser is ‘struggling with deep mental health challenges’ and outright dismissed the ‘disgusting’ allegations.
The singers brother, Eric Martin, claimed in a Facebook Live video that his nephew ‘has a mental problem.’
The Latin singer’s older brother said that the 21-year-old, who is now estranged from the family, had hurt other relatives.
He added that the family had been struggling to cope with Sanchez’s deteriorating mental health issues but that he was ‘tired of being quiet’ about them, though he said that he and his family still loved their troubled nephew.

Eric’s testimony comes after new claims that Sanchez has a criminal record and once threatened to kill a female co-worker.
Fox3Now reports that Sanchez’s colleague Claudia Ramrez Martell even took out a restraining order against him after he became ‘obsessed’ with her, repeatedly turning up outside their workplace saying he planned to murder her.
If the alleged romance between Martin and Sanchez is confirmed, the singer could face up to 50 years in prison for incest charges under Puerto Rico law.
Martin addressed the accusations on Twitter on July 3, saying: ‘The protection order entered against me is based on completely false allegations, so I will respond through the judicial process with the facts and the dignity that characterize me.
‘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.’
He has not made any additional statements regarding the accusations.
