Dominican baseball star Wander Franco has been given a two-year suspended sentence after a court in Puerto Plata found him guilty of sexually abusing a teenage girl. The verdict was delivered on June 26, 2025, following a trial in the Dominican Republic.

Franco, who plays in Major League Baseball, appeared in court for the proceedings. The suspended sentence means he will not serve prison time unless he violates the terms of his probation.
