Ricky Martin could get 50 years in prison, accused of incest and domestic violence.
The singer was recently reported for domestic violence. The victim’s identity has been kept secret as it is protected by law, but was revealed on Friday by the star’s brother Eric Martin. Ricky’s accuser is his nephew Denis Yadiel Sanchez, Marca reported.
The comments are that if the relationship was with the nephew, it could make things much worse for the singer, as it involves “incest” sex, and under the laws of Puerto Rico, he could face up to 50 years in prison if the charges are proven. he added bg-voice.com.
Martin is accused of “exerting physical and mental attacks” against the plaintiff during their seven-month relationship, which ended about two months ago. The singer is scheduled to appear in court on July 21 for the start of the trial.
The accuser, believed to be Sanchez, 21, filed for a restraining order against the star on July 1 under Puerto Rico’s domestic violence law.
According to media reports, the warrant says that after the two broke up, Martin did not reconcile and was seen hanging around their house at least three times.
The order orders the singer not to approach or contact the plaintiff due to “concerns for his safety.”
Martin’s legal team, which is preparing to defend its client, said, according to Marca, that the plaintiff was recently rejected by a woman after he allegedly harassed her and “threatened to destroy her life.”
A representative of the law firm defending Martin, 50, previously called the allegations of harassment in the order “completely false and fabricated.”
The lawyers expressed confidence that “when the true facts come to light”, the singer will be “fully rehabilitated”.
