It’s been a crazy July for Ricky Martin, but it seems, for now, it’s finally over.
Earlier this month Ricky’s 21 year old nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, accused the singer of incest and domestic abuse. Serious serious accusations.
But as of Thursday the nephew has withdrawn the claims.
“The accuser confirmed to the court that his decision to dismiss the matter was his alone, without any outside influence or pressure, and the accuser confirmed he was satisfied with his legal representation in the matter,” lawyers Joaquín Monserrate Matienzo, Carmelo Dávila and Harry Massanet Pastrana said in a joint statement.
“The request came from the accuser asking to dismiss the case. This was never anything more than a troubled individual making false allegations with absolutely nothing to substantiate them.”
The attorneys concluded, “We are glad that our client saw justice done and can now move forward with his life and his career.”
Wow. What a messed up thing to do.
