Santo Domingo \u2013 The Collegiate Court of Puerto Plata will announce this Monday, at 2:30 in the afternoon, its verdict in the judicial case involving Dominican baseball player Wander Franco.<\/p>\n
Franco is accused of alleged sexual abuse and exploitation of a minor. This case has captured attention both nationally and internationally, and now reaches its crucial stage after the presentation of evidence and arguments from both sides.<\/p>\n
The Public Prosecutor’s Office has requested a five-year prison sentence for the player, stating that there is sufficient evidence to support the accusations. In addition, they have asked that the sentence be served in a penitentiary, highlighting the evidence presented against the mother of the involved teenager as well.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the defense of the shortstop, 25 years old, maintains his innocence and requests a full acquittal, arguing that there is not enough basis to establish criminal responsibility.<\/p>\n
Franco’s legal and professional future remains uncertain pending the court’s decision. The baseball player was under administrative leave from Major League Baseball since the accusations arose, despite having a millionaire contract in MLB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
