wait but is it dismissed because his nephews dad was shutting it down?? literally saying his son is crazy??

I don’t like any of Ricky Martin music but these kind of allegations are really terrible. It ruins lives and it’s a shame.

Yeah if these allegations were BS no way for him to get his reputation back. There will always be folks that still believe he did it or only read about the allegations and not the retraction

the sad thing is we will never really know the truth behind everything

If the nephew is crazy, how come the judge grant him a restraining order? They wouldn't grant it without legal basis, right?

who knows, i just know the nephew's dad was denying everything and saying he's crazy/making it up. the dad probably very embarrassed or something

The worst and most embarrassing thing that could happen in mans life is to drag your name into public by your own blood.

Most likely they settled for an undisclosed amount and closed/dismissed the case. I didn’t read the article that Bobby just posted today incase it did mention something like that.

It was dismissed due to the withdrawal of the complaint. Maybe they realize that this is a family business and they need to resolve this privately.

That's the problem w restraining orders & the new gun laws.

Anyone w a restraining order is red flagged and prohibited from gun ownership....regardless of the validity of the claim.

Now this is a weird circumstance because the claim is incest and minor abuse, but the result is the same. Martin's reputation is destroyed, his rights as it pertains to gun ownership now (but who knows, maybe voting rights or marriage rights or whatever in the future) are curtailed.

If this occurred to Joe 6 pack, it might be forgotten, until a potential significant other goes to the Courthouse to doxx him (Courthouse court filings ARE ALWAYS ONLINE, they don't dissappear unlike general public filings) and see this shit pop up and now he's gotta explain to a skeptical lover.

Judges used to always be wary of granting orders like this, now w more & more women and liberals on the bench, they sign off on them no questions asked, damn the consequences to anyone if the angry spouse, scorned lover or crazy child is lying.

It's ridiculous and emotional judicial oversight.
