   Ricky Martin is suing his nephew after he accused him of sexual   
   abuse.   
      
   In court documents obtained by NBC News on Sept. 7, the singer   
   claims Dennis Yadiel Sánchez Martin, who he confirms is his   
   nephew and “of legal age,” “persecuted, besieged, harassed,   
   stalked and extorted” him in an effort to “assassinate” his   
   reputation.   
      
   In July, a restraining order was filed against Martin. At the   
   time, NBC News confirmed that the person who filed the   
   restraining order was the son of Martin’s half sister. The   
   nephew alleged that he and Martin had had a sexual and romantic   
   relationship that lasted for seven months, according to a court   
   document obtained by Telemundo and shared with NBC News. The   
   Grammy winner denied all allegations against him.   
      
   During a hearing in Puerto Rico on July 21, a judge declined to   
   extend a temporary order of protection against the singer after   
   the nephew withdrew his case against Martin.   
      
   In a statement obtained by TODAY following the hearing, Martin’s   
   lawyers said they “had anticipated” that the temporary   
   protection order would not be extended.   
      
   In Martin’s lawsuit, the singer claims that his nephew continues   
   to message him, despite withdrawing his restraining order and   
   “admitting under oath that he had never been sexually assaulted”   
   by him.   
      
   The lawsuit claims that the nephew would constantly message him,   
   sometimes more than 10 times in a single day, between October   
   2021 and January 2022. Martin claims that his nephew posted his   
   phone number on social media and allegedly made an Instagram   
   account for one of his children.   
      
   It was not immediately clear on Wednesday if Martin’s nephew has   
   legal representation.   
      
   Martin accuses his nephew of making malicious allegations,   
   “without probable cause, with serious contempt for the truth and   
   knowing that they were false,” according to court documents.   
      
   He also claims that his nephew’s accusations against him caused   
   him to lose out on multi-million-dollar deals and “future   
   artistic projects,” as well as hurt his reputation. Martin is   
   asking for no less than $20 million in compensation.   
      
   A day after his nephew dropped his case for a restraining order,   
   Martin returned to the stage and performed his greatest hits at   
   the Hollywood Bowl.   
      
   “All I want is for you to forget all your issues tonight,” he   
   said during the Los Angeles concert. “Just focus on love and   
   light and let’s just have a good time.”
