Ricky Martin’s harassment case dismissed after nephew drops claims of incest, domestic violence

Ricky Martin’s nephew has withdrawn claims of incest and harassment against the singer, ending a case that made global headlines last week.

On Thursday, a judge in Puerto Rico declined to extend a temporary restraining order against Martin, which was issued on July 5 after his 21-year-old nephew alleged that the two had had a romantic relationship for seven months and that Martin, 50, refused to accept the separation.

During Thursday’s court hearing, the nephew “ceased his claims voluntarily; therefore the case was archived and no further procedures are required,” a judicial spokesperson told The Associated Press.
