Once again, Ricky Martin, 50, faces a sexual assault allegation in court. Now, according to the Associated Press, the Puerto Rican has to deal with a new complaint filed last Friday (9) by an unnamed person.
However, Martin’s lawyer, José Andréu-Fuentes, has already countered the accusations to People magazine. According to him, the new complaint would have been made again by the actor’s nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sánchez Martin, the same one who is now being sued by Ricky Martin and from whom he seeks compensation of US$ 20 million (equivalent to more than R$ 102 million). .
“These allegations are extremely offensive and completely unrelated to reality. Martin never assaulted him in any way. After being prosecuted for trying to extort Mr. Martin, he [sobrinho] is trying to spread your lies again. It is past time for the media to stop giving this deeply disturbed individual the oxygen of publicity,” Andréu-Fuentes said.
The complaint was filed with a police department in Martin’s hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The police will investigate the allegations from now on, but an immediate arrest is ruled out.
In the first complaint, in July, Dennis Yádiel Sánchez had accused the Puerto Rican singer of abuse and incest. Martin had classified the lines as “false and disgusting” and always denied what happened. The nephew, a while later, ended up withdrawing the complaint and the case ended up shelved.
