Ricky Martin faces new sexual assault charges following $20M lawsuit
Another complaint against Ricky Martin was filed by his nephew, Dennis Yadiel
Ricky Martin is facing another round of claims pertaining to sexual assault only days after he filed a $20 million suit against false claims of his nephew.
The complaint filed Friday is also reportedly filed by Martin’s nephew, Dennis Yadiel.
“These claims are wildly offensive and completely untethered from reality,” Martin’s attorney José Andréu-Fuentes said in a statement to Deadline. “When this man previously made similar allegations, his legal case had to be withdrawn — not least because he himself admitted under oath that Ricky Martin had never assaulted him in any way.”
In July, Yadiel accused Martin of incest and sexual harassment claiming he was a victim of domestic abuse at the hands of the latter.
However, after a few weeks, the 21-year-old withdrew the restraining order by himself.
In the $20 million lawsuit, the Puerto Rican singer claimed Sánchez’s allegations cost Martin at least $10 million worth of canceled contracts and projects, plus another $20 million in damages to his reputation.
