Ricky Martin’s alleged domestic abuse accuser is one of his own family members … and now the pop star is reportedly staring at the peril of a half-century behind bars.
A new report Friday from Spanish news website Marca identified Ricky’s accuser as his 21-year-old nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, which would introduce incest in the case in Puerto Rico.
The singer’s brother, Eric Martin, has reportedly identified the alleged victim … and Ricky is headed to court on July 21st. Under Puerto Rican law, there are tougher penalties for certain sex crimes when the alleged victim is related to the accused, but it’s unclear exactly what Martin faces.
However, Marca reports that Martin faces up to 50 years behind bars if convicted.
As we reported … Ricky was accused of domestic violence earlier this month and the alleged victim, whose identity was not previously known, was granted a temporary restraining order against Ricky, who denied the allegations.
Now Marca is reporting that the nephew has allegedly ended a 7-month relationship with Ricky … Ricky allegedly did not take it well, continuing to contact his nephew and showing up at his nephew’s home.
We’ve reached out to Ricky’s camp … no response yet.
