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, said he was subjected to physical and psychological abuse during his seven-month relationship with Martin. The accuser claimed he finally called it quits earlier this year, but Martin refused to accept the split and continued to the harass him 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.”
Martin denied the allegations after news of the restraining order had surfaced.
“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,” Martin wrote in a statement. “Because it is an ongoing legal matter, I cannot make detailed statements at this time. I am grateful for the countless messages of solidarity, and I receive them with all my heart.”
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. Stay tuned as more details about the case become available.
