Ricky Martin Reportedly Faces Prison Time Over Incest and Abuse Allegations
Written by SOURCE on July 15, 2022
A new report sheds more light on Ricky Martin’s domestic violence case.
According to TMZ, the pop star’s accuser has been identified as his 21-year-old Dennis Yadiel Sanchez. The outlet cites a recent Marca article in which Martin’s brother confirmed the alleged victim’s identity.
The news comes just weeks after the 50-year-old pop star was hit with a DV restraining order in Puerto Rico. The petitioner, who was not named at the time, claimed he broke up with Martin earlier this after a seven months of dating. Martin allegedly refused to accept the split, and continued to the harass the victim in the following months.
“[Martin] calls him frequently. In addition, the petitioner has seen him hanging around his residence on at least three occasions,” the restraining order reportedly stated. “The petitioner fears for his safety … the petitioning party demonstrated that there is a substantial possibility of immediate risk of abuse.”
Though it’s unclear what charges Martin is facing, Marca, reports he could spend up to 50 years behind bars for the DV and incest allegations.
The singer is scheduled to appear in court on July 21.
