SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco used his mother to give money to the mother of a minor who he was accused abusing in an effort to hide the funds, according to documents prosecutors presented to a judge this week and viewed by The Associated Press. Franco has been charged with sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl in the Dominican Republic. Prosecutors filed multiple charges against Franco six months after a judge ordered that he be investigated in connection with sexual and psychological abuse of the girl.
