Judge Pascual Valenzuela has ruled that there is sufficient evidence for charges against Wander Franco to proceed to trial concerning serious allegations of sexual offenses.
Investigators began looking into accusations that Rays shortstop Wander Franco engaged in a sexual relationship with a minor, which led to formal charges in July.
Franco's charges include sexual abuse and human trafficking involving a 14-year-old girl, and he now faces the potential for a lengthy prison sentence.
Major League Baseball's protocol led to Franco being placed on administrative leave amid the investigations, which later transitioned to a restricted list due to bail conditions.
