Ricky Martin's nephew withdraws his incest, harassment claims against singer

Ricky Martin's nephew on Thursday withdrew his claims that he was harassed by the 50-year-old singer after calling off their affair.

Martin's nephew had said the two ended a romantic relationship earlier this year but Martin would not leave him alone and had loitered near his house "at least three times." The 21-year-old said he "feared for his safety," leading a Puerto Rican judge on July 1 to issue a temporary restraining order against Martin.

Police spokesman Axel Valencia told the Associated Press that authorities attempted to serve Martin the order near his home in the north coastal town of Dorado but weren't "able to find him" as of Saturday. According to Valencia, the person who entered the order opted to bypass a police report — which might have enabled authorities to file charges against Martin — and instead deliver the request directly to the court.
