Rays shortstop Wander Franco is facing another investigation in the Dominican Republic as a special prosecutor is looking into a second formal complaint regarding Franco’s alleged relationships with a minor, ESPN’s Juan Recio and Jeff Passan reports.
Franco is now facing three separate allegations over the matter.
The first complaint was filed on July 17, and the second allegation was not officially brought to authorities. Since then, a third girl has spoken with the specialized prosecutor’s office for boys, girls and adolescents, and said she had a relationship with Franco as a minor, according to Recio and Passan. In the Dominican Republic, engaging in a sexual relationship with anyone under the age of 18 is a criminal offense.
