Once again Ricky Martin is under public scrutiny. On this occasion, a sexual assault complaint was filed against the Puerto Rican singer in a barracks in San Juan, a few days after the artist sued his nephew Dennis Yadiel Sánchez for extortion.
spokesman for the Puerto Rico Police, Axel Valencia, confirmed this Saturday to the Efe news agency the filing of the aforementioned complaint against Enrique Martin Morales, the singer’s real name.
“There is a complaint filed yesterday afternoon at the Río Piedras barracks by a victim who is an adult”, explained Valencia. The spokesman added that they are “very sensitive investigations” and that due to the victim protection protocols “the identity” of the victims is protected.
The Police cannot reveal the name of the plaintiff, although, according to the local media “Primer Hora”, it would again be his nephew, who obtained a protection order for domestic violence against his uncle last July.

However, the singer filed a lawsuit last Wednesday against his nephew for extortion, damages, requesting compensation of no less than 30 million dollars.
“The defendant Sánchez has threatened and extorted the plaintiff that unless he was c financially compensated, will continue with its campaign to assassinate his reputation and integrity through false and malicious accusations”, the lawsuit indicated.
According to the text, “ Sánchez’s reckless, malicious and negligent actions were motivated by the desire to expose the plaintiff to the hatred and contempt of his fans and to limit his business opportunities and destroy his reputation.”
Said actions caused the cancellation of the plaintiff, Ricky Martin, millionaire contracts and present and future artistic projects. The pecuniary damages are quantified in a sum not less than 10 million dollars. In addition, they have caused damage to the reputation of the plaintiff that is quantified as of the date of filing of this lawsuit in an amount not less than 20 millions of dollars.
Sánchez, aged 21, alleged at the time that he had a romantic relationship with Ricky Martin for seven months and that , after the breakup, his uncle intimidated him and approached his home on several occasions. The singer always described the allegations as “completely false”.
