Rays' Franco criminally responsible for sexual abuse of minor but will not be jailed

Judge Jose Antonio Nunez considered that Franco had been the victim of extortion and blackmail by the minor's mother, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually trafficking her daughter. In his decision, the judge declared Franco criminally responsible for the sexual and psychological abuse of a minor, but ruled that he will not serve a sentence. The ruling relied on the finding that Franco was also a victim, and on an exemption from punishment through judicial pardon.
