Court revokes pardon for Rays' Wander Franco in sex abuse case 光芒隊 Wander Franco 性侵案，法院撤銷特赦 ESPN Associated Press 美聯社 Oct 29, 2026, 04:29 PM ET https://reurl.cc/MWKg13 SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- An appeals court in the Dominican Republic on Thursday granted a request by prosecutors to revoke a judicial pardon previously awarded to Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco after he was convicted for the sexual and psychological abuse of a minor. 聖多明哥（SANTO DOMINGO），多明尼加共和國（Dominican Republic）──多明尼加共和 國（Dominican Republic）的上訴法院（appeals court）週四批准了檢察官的請求，撤銷 先前給予坦帕灣光芒隊游擊手 Wander Franco 的司法特赦。此前，他因對未成年人進行性 虐待和心理虐待而被定罪。 The Dominican Public Prosecutor's Office argued that the lower court's original pardon rested on an erroneous interpretation of legal provisions intended only for exceptional circumstances -- conditions that prosecutors maintained do not apply to Franco's case. 多明尼加檢察官辦公室（Dominican Public Prosecutor's Office）主張，地方法院（ lower court）最初的特赦是基於對法律條文的錯誤理解，該條文僅適用於特殊情況── 而檢察官堅持認為這些條件並不適用於 Franco 的案件。 Franco's defense team objected to the motion, but the appellate court ruled in favor of the prosecution, essentially upholding Franco's previous conviction, with a suspended three-year prison sentence. Franco will not be required to serve time in custody provided he maintains a fixed residence and remains under judicial supervision. Franco 的辯護團隊（defense team）對該動議提出異議，但上訴法院裁定支持檢方，實質 上維持了 Franco 先前的定罪，並判處三年緩刑（suspended sentence）。只要 Franco 保持固定住所並接受司法監督，就不需要入獄服刑。 Franco was arrested in January 2024 after being accused of having a four-month relationship with a girl who was 14 at the time and transferring thousands of dollars to her mother to consent to the illegal relationship. Franco, now 25, was originally convicted in June 2025. Franco 於 2024 年 1 月被捕，原因是他被指控與一名當時 14 歲的少女保持了長達四個 月的關係，並向其母親支付了數千美元以換取對此非法關係的同意。現年 25 歲的 Franco 最初於 2025 年 6 月被定罪。 Six months after that, Tampa Bay placed him on the restricted list, which cut off the pay he had been receiving while on administrative leave. He hasn't played in the majors since. 六個月後，坦帕灣光芒隊將他列入限制名單（restricted list），切斷了他先前在行政 休假（administrative leave）期間一直領取的薪水。自那時起，他就再也沒有在大聯盟 上場比賽過。 The court on Thursday imposed the conditional terms considering Franco's age and to support his eventual reintegration into society. If he fails to comply with any of the conditions, he will be required to serve the full three-year prison sentence. 法院週四考慮到 Franco 的年齡，並為了支持他最終重新融入社會，制定了這些附帶條件 。如果他未能遵守其中任何一項條件，將被要求服滿整整三年的有期徒刑。 Neither Franco nor his legal counsel offered a statement upon leaving the courthouse. Franco 和他的法律顧問在離開法院時均未發表任何聲明。 Franco, who was once the Rays' star shortstop, had signed a $182 million, 11-year contract in November 2021 but saw his career abruptly halted in August 2023 after authorities in the Dominican Republic announced they were investigating him for an alleged relationship with a minor. Franco was 22 at the time. 曾是光芒隊明星游擊手的 Franco 曾在 2021 年 11 月簽下了一份為期 11 年、價值 1.82 億美元的合約，但在 2023 年 8 月多明尼加共和國當局宣布對他涉嫌與未成年人保持關 係展開調查後，他的職業生涯猝然中斷。Franco 當時 22 歲。 Following Thursday's hearing, prosecutors reiterated that they had substantiated their charges throughout multiple trials, presenting robust evidence that established the criminal conduct of Franco and of the minor's mother. 在週四的聽證會（hearing）結束後，檢察官重申，他們在多次審判（trials）中都證實 了指控，提出了強有力的證據，確立了 Franco 和該未成年人母親的犯罪行為。 The court upheld a 10-year prison sentence for the mother, who was found guilty of commercial sexual exploitation and money laundering. 法院維持了對該名母親判處 10 年監禁的判決，她被裁定犯有商業性剝削（commercial sexual exploitation）和洗錢罪（money laundering）。 Additionally, the court ordered the forfeiture of approximately $34,000 found in her possession -- funds provided by Franco in exchange for her consent to his relationship with her daughter. 此外，法院下令沒收在她名下發現的大約 34,000 美元資金──這些資金是由 Franco 提 供，用以換取她同意其與她女兒的關係。 Franco retains the right to appeal this decision to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Dominican Republic. Franco 仍保留就此裁決向多明尼加共和國最高法院（Supreme Court of Justice of the Dominican Republic）提出上訴的權利。 Major League Baseball declined to comment. 美國職棒大聯盟拒絕發表評論。 ──────────────────── ──────────────────── 曾經的明星游擊， 正準備發光…… 就自己擊落自己。 Wander Franco Debut: 6/22/2021 Season Age G PA HR R RBI SB AVG OBP SLG wRC+ fWAR 2021 20 70 308 7 53 39 2 .288 .347 .463 126 2.4 2022 21 83 344 6 46 33 8 .277 .328 .417 115 2.3 2203 22 112 491 17 65 58 30 .281 .344 .475 127 4.8 --
