Police have reported that a Puerto Rican judge issued a restraining injunction against Ricky Martin.
According to Axel Valencia, a police spokesperson, the order was signed Friday after authorities visited Dorado’s north coast town to enforce the order.
Valencia stated that police had not been able “up until now” to locate him.
Publicist for Livin’ la Vida Loca singer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The identity of the person who requested the restraining orders is unknown. Furthermore, the order was filed under Puerto Rico domestic violence law.
Newspaper El Vocero reports that Martin and the other person were together for seven months prior to their breakup two months ago.
According to the report, Martin claimed that Martin didn’t accept the separation. Martin has been seen at least three times near the petitioner’s home.
El Vocero quotes the order: “The petitioner fears his safety.”
Mr Valencia stated that the order forbids Martin from calling or contacting the person who filed it. A judge will decide later at a hearing if it should be kept in place or removed.
He also pointed out that the person who requested a restraining order didn’t contact police. This would have required prosecutors to determine if enough evidence was available to bring charges. Instead, it was sent straight to court.
