Ricky Martin denies sexual relationship with nephew, says allegations are “completely false”
Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin, 50, denied he had a sexual relationship with his nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, who has filed domestic violence charges against him. “Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges.
Ricky Martin has, of course, never been — and would never be — involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew.” Martin’s attorney, Marty Singer, said in a statement to TODAY. “The idea is not only untrue, it is disgusting.
We all hope that this man gets the help he so urgently needs. But, most of all, we look forward to this awful case being dismissed as soon as a judge gets to look at the facts,” Singer continued.
Earlier this month, a Puerto Rico judge issued a restraining order against Martin, which Martin commented “completely false.” He stated on twitter, “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.
