Ricky Martin will challenge allegations of a sexual relationship made by his nephew in a court hearing Thursday.
He"will directly address the judge at the hearing," a lawyer for Martin told NBC News on Wednesday. Martin will deny he had any romantic or sexual relationship with his nephew and will challenge accusations that he stalked and harassed his nephew, the lawyer said.
He went to the court voluntarily to request the order, claiming he sustained a romantic relationship with Martin for seven months and now “fears for his safety,” the protection order reads. Based on these claims, a judge granted the temporary restraining order set to expire Thursday, the day of the court hearing.
In a Facebook livestream this month, Eric Martin, one of the singer's half brothers, also said the allegations were made by a nephew who suffers from"mental health problems."
