Wander Franco was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor in the Republic of Dominican and was sentenced to two years suspended jail sentence on Thursday.
24 -year -old Franco, and the victim’s mother, was sentenced after nearly two years when investigators opened a case in their illicit relationship with an then 14 -year -old girl.
The investigation revealed that what the prosecutors had said were making two payments to the victim’s mother from Franco, which included a total amount of more than $ 100,000, including one for $ 68,500, to allow the relationship to continue allegedly.
In the case, the judge ruled on Thursday that any additional legal or moral issues would need to be sentenced to Franco. Their fundamental state for probation involves contact with minors, but it was not immediately clear how the court would implement the verdict or determine Franco’s intention.
A test delayed by a failure of 33 of 36 employed witnesses to appear in court in December ended on Thursday.
Prosecutors pushed for a five-year sentence for 2023 all-stars, which has been on administrative leave from Tampa Bay rays since the allegations on social media in August 2023.
Franco spoke only once during the test, when he “let the judge be late” in a brief statement on Monday.
The guilty decision cleans Franco’s rays of any remaining financial obligation. It is possible that the “Moral Turlitud” Claus Franco will disqualify Franco by obtaining a United States visa to return to Major League baseball.
A panel was 14 years old at the time of alleged relations with a 21 -year -old baseball player, convicting Franco in 2023 after reviewing the details of testimony from the girl.
Prosecutors expanded a relationship that began in 2022 and reached about two months.
The victim’s mother was convicted of sexual exploitation and human trafficking allegations, seizing the assets acquired through a 10 -year prison sentence and criminal money laundering.
