usmagazine.com:

After Ricky Martin was accused of having a sexual and incestuous relationship with his nephew, the case has been dropped.“Just as we had anticipated, the temporary protection order was not extended by the Court,” an attorney for the 50-year-old singer told Deadline in a statement on Thursday, July 21. “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.

The request came from the accuser asking to dismiss the case.”The statement continued: “This was never anything more than a troubled individual making false allegations with absolutely nothing to substantiate them.

We are glad that our client saw justice done and can now move forward with his life and his career.”Earlier this month, the “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with his 21-year-old nephew, claims which he has since denied.“Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges,” Martin’s attorney, Marty Singer, told Us Weekly in a statement on July 16. “Ricky Martin has, of course, never been — and would never be – involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew.

The idea is not only untrue, it is disgusting.”Singer continued at the time: “We all hope that this man gets the help he so urgently needs.
