Ricky Martin’s lawyers `speak out after Nephew asks to dismiss the court case as the restraining order is Withdrawn
Famous Singer Ricky Martin won the case on the incest allegation after his nephew withdrew the allegations made against him. Days after several reports emerged that the artist’s nephew was granted a temporary restraining order against Martin.
The singer attended a hearing on the matter on July 2. During the hearing, Martin appeared in front of a Judge via Zoom about accusations that he had a romantic relationship with the son of the singer’s half-sister.
According to TMZ, the judge presiding over the matter has dismissed the temporary restraining order that he had previously issued. It is to be noted that in a protection order filed in early July, his nephew has also accused the “Livin’ La Vida Loca” artist of stalking and harassing him.
Just after winning the case Ricky Martin’s lawyers took to Instagram and stated in response to an allegation of incest made against the 50-year-old singer.
Here is the whole statement issued by them,
“Just as we had anticipated, the temporary protection order was not extended by the Court,” the statement read. “The accuser confirmed to the court that his decision to dismiss the matter was his alone, without any outside influence or pressure, and the accuser confirmed he was satisfied with his legal representation in the matter. The request came from the accuser asking to dismiss the case. 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 his career.”
In early July a judge granted a temporary restraining order against Martin under Puerto Rico’s Domestic Violence Prevention and Intervention Law. n the protection order, Martin’s nephew claimed he sustained a romantic relationship with Martin for seven months and now “fears for his safety.”
Based on all these claims, the judge granted the temporary restraining order with the expiration date listed as the day of Martin’s court hearing.
