Prosecutors in the Dominican Republic are seeking a five-year prison sentence for suspended Tampa Bay Rays player Wander Franco, accused of sexual abuse of a 14-year-old girl. Evidence suggests he maintained a relationship with the minor for four months and financially compensated her mother to facilitate this. The prosecutors also want the mother sentenced to ten years in prison, asserting she was complicit in trafficking her daughter. The situation further complicates Franco's professional career, which was interrupted in August 2023 amid these serious allegations.
Prosecutors stated there is sufficient evidence of Franco's involvement with the minor, alleging he paid significant sums to her mother to facilitate the illegal relationship.
The legal consequences proposed by prosecutors include a five-year prison term for Franco and a decade for the minor's mother, whom they accuse of trafficking.
