Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco did not respond to a summons filed in the Dominican Republic to respond to allegations that he had inappropriate relationships with minors, the agency director said Thursday.
Olga Diná Llaverías said Franco did not show up to the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Children and Adolescents at 11 a.m. -- the time he had been given Wednesday to appear the following day in Santo Domingo.
Diná Llaverías said the agency would continue with the criminal process but did not discuss details in a short news conference with reporters.
