Ricky Martin faces problems with the law in his native Puerto Rico after an alleged restraining order was released after being accused of domestic violence. However, the 50-year-old Puerto Rican singer denied the accusations.
The order would have been issued by Judge Raiza Cajigas Campbell, who summoned the parties involved to a hearing on July 21, the day the order expires. At the moment, the name of the accuser has not been revealed, since the laws of Puerto Rico protect the identity of victims of domestic violence.
Through a press release, the police of the “island of charm” confirmed, on July 2, that “it is in the process of filing a protection order, under Law 54, issued against Mr. Henry Martin”.
Although the details of the accusation are not yet clear, according to the newspaper the spokesman, who had access to the court documents, the complaint would have come from a man with whom Martin “had a relationship for a few months”:
The parties were linked for seven months. They separated two months ago, but the defendant does not accept the separation and often calls the victim. In addition, the petitioner has seen him wandering around his residence on at least three occasions and fears for his safety.
Through his official Twitter account, Ricky Martin reacted sharply to the accusations against him and indicated that he would not make any further comments as it is an ongoing legal matter:

In addition, Eric Martin, half brother of the interpreter of living the crazy life, came out in defense of the also actor. Through a Facebook direct, he assured that the accusation would have come from a nephew, whose identity he did not reveal, “with mental problems”:

I don’t think my older brother is capable of doing what my nephew wrote. Nephew, we are here, you know my number, call me. If that happened, why didn’t you come to the family first?
For its part, the legal team of the former member of Menudo denied the accusations and sent a written statement to The Spokesman:
The allegations against Ricky Martin, leading to a protection order, are completely false. We are confident that when the true facts come to light in this matter, our client will be fully vindicated.
It is undoubtedly a difficult time for Ricky Martin, who is going through another lawsuit filed by his former manager, Rebecca Drucker, for alleged unpaid commissions, amounting to three million dollars, during the period in which he followed him professionally.
