Ricky Martin filed a $20 million lawsuit against his 21-year-old nephew Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, who accused the star of sexual abuse, according to docs obtained by NYP.

TMZ, which was the first to report the news, noted that the “Livin’ La Vida” singer, 50, filed the suit Wednesday in San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

A month after Sanchez withdrew his restraining order against the pop star, Martin claims that Sanchez began sending him messages through Instagram, threatening to “assassinate his reputation and integrity” if he didn’t cough up cash. 

Martin claims in his suit that Sanchez — whom he described as a “maladjusted individual” — bragged about being his nephew and would send him messages up to 10 times a day for a four-month period. 

The former Menudo member also alleges that Sanchez posted his cellphone number on the internet and made an Instagram account for one of his children, which unnerved the father of four. 

Martin believes he’s missed out on lucrative business opportunities, the suit states, and is looking for $20 million in damages.
