Franco ordered to stand trial in sexual abuse case
Briefly

Wander Franco's trial for sexual abuse and exploitation of a minor is set to proceed after a Dominican Republic judge found sufficient evidence for the case to move forward.
The ongoing investigation by MLB into Franco's alleged conduct reflects serious concerns regarding violations of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policies, adding pressure during the proceedings.
Franco's situation highlights the complexities of legal agreements, as the father of the alleged victim has withdrawn his complaint without disclosing the terms, which could impact the trial's proceedings.
With the possibility of facing up to 20 years in prison, the seriousness of the charges against Franco may deeply affect his career in Major League Baseball.
