In the court hearing on July 21, Ricky Martin’s nephew dropped the allegation against the Puerto Rican pop singer, who was caught hanging around the petitioner’s house after breaking in two months ago. Likewise, the restraining order was withdrawn.

In the unopened virtual hearing, as a court spokesman told NBC news, the nephew “voluntarily desisted” from moving forward and claimed he didn’t need further protection from the restraining order.

Earlier this month, the 21-year-old nephew filed domestic violence charges to stop 50-year-old Martin from stalking him, while Martin denied any sexual relationship with him and called the allegations “completely false”. 

Soon after the allegations being dropped, Martin’s attorney team released following statements, “Just as we had anticipated, the temporary protection order was not extended by the Court. 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. 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.”

Martin tweeted this statement and commented, “Truth prevails.”

Truth prevails.

Marty Singer, one of  Martin’s team of lawyers, told Deadline, “Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges. Ricky Martin has, of course, never been — and would never be — involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew.”
