The 50-year-old singer Ricky Martin has been accused of incest by his 21-year-old nephew Dennis Yadiel Sanchez and could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted. Daily Mail reports the singer was hit with a restraining order from the domestic violence incident in Puerto Rico this month.

It’s reported the father of four physically and psychologically attacked Sanchez during their seven-month relationship, which ended about two months ago.   

Martin called the allegations ‘completely false and fabricated’ in a statement on social media.

Martin could face up to 50 years in prison if the allegations are true as Puerto Rico has stricter rules if crimes of the mentioned nature involve a victim biologically related to the perpetrator.
