The court hearing on the protection order granted ex parte to Ricky Martin against his nephew, Dennis Sánchez Martin, was postponed for the second time and will not be held this Monday as planned.
As reported today to Efe by Perfect Partners, the singer’s public relations firm in Puerto Rico, the hearing was postponed for next 10 November.
This is the second time that the hearing has been postponed, which was originally scheduled for last 28 September in the Court of First Instance of San Juan.
The protection order was granted ex parte by that court on September 8 and states that the singer alleges that Sánchez manifested “a pattern of conduct consisting of threats, persecution and harassment”.
According to the document, “the petitioning party demonstrated that there is a substantial probability of immediate risk to your safety or that of a member of your family”.
Therefore, Sánchez was ordered “to refrain from harassing, persecuting, intimidating, threatening or in any other way interfering with the petitioning party or with members of his family.”
Also not to go near your home or that of your relatives and not to contact you by phone, email or social networks.
This measure came a day after Ricky Martin filed a million-dollar lawsuit for extortion, damages and losses against his nephew, and a day before Sánchez sued for sexual assault against his uncle.
Regarding that complaint for assault, José Andreu Fuentes, one of Ricky Martin’s lawyers, assured that they are “tremendously offensive and completely false” statements and part of “a pattern of harassment against the singer.”
Sánchez, for his part, told Unimás television two weeks ago that he has “solid evidence” of these alleged attacks, which he alleges occurred when he was 12 years old, and that He hopes that “justice will be done”.
The lawsuits before the courts began last July, when Sánchez obtained an ex parte order of protection for domestic violence against the singer, a case that was filed that same month at the request of the plaintiff himself.
