Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was charged with illegal gun possession in the Dominican Republic on Sunday.
The New York Post noted that 24-year-old Franco is already on trial for the charge of “sexual abuse of child…involving a girl who was 14 years old at the time of his alleged crimes.”
Franco allegedly kidnapped the child for “sexual purposes.”
ABC News noted the sexual abuse charges were filed against Franco in July 2024.

Now, the gun charge has been added against Franco, arising from a parking lot altercation last November.
Although no one was harmed in the altercation, a Glock handgun was allegedly found in Franco’s vehicle. The Glock “was registered in the name of Franco’s uncle,” according to the New York Post.
