caulfield12 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) These are two of the theories out there that seem most realistic… “I thought I saw he was 17 she was 14 and they broke up when he turned 18. Then he’s supposed to come back for her more less but got married to another woman. I’m going to say that kid is his. He’s been paying that because he got her pregnant when they were 17/14 then instead of her showing up at 18 and becoming a family, he got married. So now she wanted to be paid off thinking he broke his promise to her but he’s not paying her anything. I’ll wait to see how it all plays out.” “He had been dating her since she was 14, she's older now. Her parents were okay with the whole thing (mother had given approval) until he started dating another TikTok girl, I’m assuming at that point they realized he had moved on and their daughter was not gonna come to the US and be a $182 millionaire's wife. That's when her parents started extorting him and things got out of his control. I just want him and her parents to face consequences so that the grooming and Dominican parents allowing their young daughters to maintain relationships with older men for money stops.” There had been another allegation one of the girls was targeting Marlins’ top pitching prospect Eury Perez. “One of the girls posted a statement on social media, and is not the first time that he targets a young girl from Tiktok, this is news to US media and the MLB, Dominicans had known about this for a very long time. Edit* He paid the parents an undisclosed amount of money (supposedly $200k) for their silence, the parents had also confirmed that to be true.” Edited August 15, 2023 by caulfield12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 DNA testing and hopefully birth and school records will be conclusive. Reporting on this must be difficult. Even allegations in today's world are career killers. Buy it's a story and if true, he deserves the scorn and ridicule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our old friend Hector Gomez from Machado's Friends & Family days is wrong and the complaint/suit was filed by Franco against the 17 year old girl in July...? What the heck is going on?

Jake Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 16 hours ago, South Side Hit Men said: I just hope she doesn't have a two year old child (or any child) as has been alleged in reports. Right and I think we shouldn't be so confident in knowing someone's age from these photos. I could believe 14 and I could believe 18 from what I've seen. People grow up differently. And I've seen those claims about the girl having a child which is not biologically impossible at 14 years old but when there are competing claims about her age *and* she's allegedly a mother, I start to think the higher ages sound more plausible. But really I find it hard to know anything with confidence about this since it seems like all info is coming out third-hand at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 It's really going to depend on who is the 2 year olds biological father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If a relationship started when they were both minors (17 / 14), puts it in a different light. The DR has a stricter age of consent law (18) than most states here (as low as 13 in ten states, 16 in a majority of states). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_States Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grinder Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Sounds like Wander has wandering eyes. WTF is he thinking? Obviously w the wrong head. Jeez it not like he couldn't have boatloads of legal women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I wish someone who knows about this stuff would enlighten me. 1. If Franco broke a law in DR, they can't extradite him, can they? 2. If he broke a law in DR, they can't prosecute him here, can they? 3. Can they revoke his passport/visa? 4. How much can MLB punish him?

caulfield12 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bob Sacamano said: FWIW. This was pretty much called exactly by so called insiders in my post above. Except for the part about the Mercedes and two different girls. Logical explanation is that 14 year old changed next to 17 in the reporting and finally to 19 now/today/currently. She's driving a car now and that requires being 18 in the DR from what I understand. So if that's the extent of it quite unseemly but no laws were broken if he was 17 and younger...although there's a big distinction between 12 and 13 in DR law about adolescence. Basically like a high school junior or senior with an 8th or 9th grader...not exactly common, but not what it was made out to be origonally. Then you have ugly spectre of families using their daughters for a free meal ticket by attaching them to a future professional athlete with high earning potential.

caulfield12 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 https://sports.yahoo.com/wander-francos-case-reportedly-being-handled-by-minors-and-gender-violence-unit-in-dominican-republic-002923300.html The allegations against Tampa Bay Rays star Wander Franco will be handled in the Dominican Republic by a division specializing in cases involving minors and gender violence, according to the Associated Press. Ángel Darío Tejeda Fabal, a prosecutor in the Dominican province of Peravia, reportedly said the investigation is open under The National Agency for Boys, Girls, Adolescents and Family and Gender Violence Unit and is in its early stages. Judge Olga Diná Llaverías, a specialist on child abuse cases, will chair the case. From the AP: “This is a very delicate topic because there is a minor involved,” Fabal said. “We are working together (with Judge Llaverías).” Fabal reportedly also said prosecutors are in the process of gathering evidence and testimonies, with a potential update coming next week, and they have had no communication with MLB or U.S. authorities.
