A prosecutor in the Dominican Republic says an investigation into Wander Franco is being handled by a division specializing in minors and gender violence.
Angel Dario Tejeda Fabal, a prosecutor in Peravia, said that the investigation into Franco is open under the National Agency for Boys, Girls, Adolescents and Family and Gender Violence Unit.
He said the probe is in its early stages and will be chaired by Chief Prosecutor Olga Dina Llaverias, a specialist in child abuse cases.
On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays placed the 22-year-old on the restricted list, a move that will sideline Franco for at least six games. MLB is investigating the player following social media posts that questioned the nature of a relationship Franco was in with a younger woman.
