The singer has also been accused of a supposed seven-month intimate relationship with his 21-year-old nephew. A hearing has been set for July 21 in Puerto Rico on the supposed claim.

If Martin is found guilty of the charges, he could be looking at a nearly 50-year sentence.

The Puerto Rican singer is further accused of imposing physical and mental torture on his 21-year-old nephew during their 7-month relationship. However, the relationship was called off about two months ago.

According to a Puerto Rican newspaper, the uncle and nephew relationship ended about two months ago after dating for seven months. The newspaper further reported that Sanchez claimed his uncle Martin refused to call off the relationship. Martin has been seen continuously loitering near his house.

The singer was also accused of “consuming large amounts of alcohol and drugs,” as said by his nephew, Sanchez.

Sources revealed that the singer’s attorney has refused to respond to all the allegations made against his client. The litigator has been seen busy preparing their defence against Sanchez.

Martin has been restrained from contacting or calling the supposed victim, who allegedly, “fears for his safety.”

At that time, the identity of the petitioner was kept secret to protect him as a supposed victim of abuse under law 54 of the Puerto Rican Act. But to everyone’s surprise, the potential victim of bullying or abuse is none other than Martin’s own nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez.

The police have confirmed to The Associated Press that the protective order has been signed on July 1.

According to sources, the allegation made by the supposed victim did not contact the police. It has, however, sparked suspicion among the police. This will now determine whether there was sufficient evidence to file charges.

The restraining order requested by the supposed victim was directed to the court.
