Thania Garcia A judge in Puerto Rico has issued a restraining order against Ricky Martin, police confirmed on July 2.Law enforcement spokesman Axel Valencia told the Associated Press that authorities visited the singer’s upscale neighborhood in the north coastal town of Dorado to serve the order, however, “police haven’t been able to find him.”Because the request was filed under Puerto Rico’s domestic abuse law, it remains unconfirmed who is behind it.
Puerto Rican news outlet, El Vocero, reported that it came from someone Martin had dated for seven months.According to the petitioner, Martin has denied their breakup for two months now and he has been seen wandering near their home at least three times. “The petitioner fears for his safety,” El Vocero says, quoting the order.
AP has not received a copy of the order. Meanwhile, spokesman Valencia said that the order prevents Martin from contacting the petitioner and that a judge will have to determine at a hearing whether the legal arrangement should remain in place or be terminated.
He also added that the person who filed for the restraining order did not contact the police, which normally would involve prosecutors determining if there was enough evidence to file charges.
