Since he is accused by his own nephew, he could face up to 50 years in prison because of strict Puerto Rico laws when it comes to incest. The spokesman confirmed that the singer’s relationship with his 21-year-old nephew ended a couple of months ago, and then the singer resorted to violence because “he could not accept the separation” and therefore began to call him insistently and persecute him.

Ricky Martin’s representatives said, “The allegations against Ricky Martin that lead to a protection order are completely false and fabricated. We are very confident that when the true facts come out in this matter our client Ricky Martin will be fully vindicated.” They also claimed that the nephew has recently been accused of harassment by a woman after he threatened to destroy her life.

The news came into the limelight after his ex-manager Rebecca Drucker sued the singer for more than $3 million in unpaid commissions. As per the 15-page complaint, Rebecca Drucker helped Ricky Martin through “recording contracts, touring and sponsorship deals, and other professional endeavors,” adding, “With Rebecca Drucker at his side, Martin made millions of dollars and therefore owes Rebecca Drucker substantial commissions.”
